Victoria Nuggets' Open Women
A fantastic result for our elite program in Victoria this year, winning 2 team divisions and 2 individual titles.
The Victoria Nuggets' Open Women built progressively on their lead on home ground at the end of the season. It was tight between the Nuggets and the Cockatoos early on in the season, but the absence of Allison Jones for most of the second half of the season left a hole that the Cockatoos were unable to fill and the Victorians took full advantage. The Tassie Foresters held third for much of the season, but were severely depleted at the end of the season and were overtaken by the consistent Queensland Cyclones.
The Victoria Nuggets took another title when a good final week saw them pull clear in a close junior men's competition.
The two junior classes in the SILVA National League featured winners from Victoria. Aislinn Prendergast and Belinda Lawford (ACT) finished in a dead heat. Max Neve’s Australian Championship wins saw him come from behind to take the title by seven points, and win the 2010 trip to Europe donated by SILVA for the best junior of the season.

History of the Victoria Nuggets
Victoria Nuggets dominate 2007 National Orienteering League
2007 Victoria Nuggets Report
Final 2007 standings in the Senior and Junior divisions are now available.
The Victorian Nuggets have won three of the four divisions of the 2007 National Orienteering League.
This is Victoria's second ever National Orienteering League win, after taking out the overall champion team title for the first time in 2003.
Without any superstars, the Nuggets depth and consistency over the 15 rounds proved too good for other states to match.
The Nuggets won the Senior Men’s National League with 127 points from the NSW Stingers on 122,
the Senior Women’s with 129 points from the Southern Arrows on 108, and the Junior Men’s with 81 from the Tassie Foresters on 71. The Queensland Cyclones won the Junior Women’s title with 81 points from the Victorian Nuggets 62.
Reigning champions, and twelve time winners, the Canberra Cockatoos, finished last in both senior divisions.
Nuggets Numbers
Upon scoring their first NOL point, team members are allocated a Nuggets number. Natasha Key scored the first number in 1994, and Julie Lawford is latest addition at #56. Nuggets members are now recognised for significant milestones for NOL races and points accumulated.
