England have retained the Interland Cup after a weekend of orienteering in Northern France on 14th-15th March. The six way competition pits teams from England, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, as well as French (FRSO) and Dutch (OV) speaking teams from Belgium against one another.

Sunday’s race followed training activities on the Saturday, with a very close battle for top spot between England and OV. While the Belgian team had the biggest points haul in the Senior categories, England’s younger team members, including HOC’s Sam Hudson, won out over OV in the Junior classes, leading to an overall trophy winning performance.

Orienteering England have posted their team manager’s report, and there is an enjoyable unvarnished view of the event from next year’s hosts Luxembourg Orienteering here.
