Cork Orienteering Club is delighted with the success of our 2022 Summer Orienteering League. We very much appreciate the support from the many individuals and families who regularly made the journey every Tuesday evening to the various destinations throughout the city and county. 

On the competitive side of things we had seven fiercely competitive events and many worthy event winners. The overall league which required competitors to complete at least five of the seven events was hugely competitive right throughout the results table. The Summer League results table can be viewed at the following link:


Prizes will be awarded to the top three men and women league finishers on the Long course and the top three finishers on the Short course. All league finishers on the Short course will be awarded medals for their great achievement.

The 2022 Summer League prizegiving will take place at our first Autumn League event in Fota House and Gardens on TUESDAY AUGUST 31st at 7:10pm. Hope you can join us as we crown our league champions and recognise our podium and league finishers.

This year we had over 30 league finishers who are all eligible to receive our unique 2022 Summer League finisher memento. The league finisher mementos will be available for collection from our third Autumn League event on September 6th at Moanbaun Wood, Watergrasshill.

We would like to once again thank all the planners and event organisers for helping stage all seven events in the league. Without them we wouldn't have a league.

Finally, we would also like to thank everyone who participated at all our league events. Without you the league wouldn't have been the success that it was. We really appreciate your support and hope you enjoyed the courses and venues we visited along the way.

Hope you have enjoyed the Autumn break and we look forward to seeing you at our first Autumn League event in Fota House and Gardens.
