Report by Peter Guillaume, Compass Sport Cup Coordinator

The second series of qualifying events were held on 12 and 13 March 2022. The organising clubs Berkshire Orienteers, Forth Valley, Humberside and Lincolnshire Orienteers and Mole Valley and their volunteers are due many thanks on behalf of the competitors. Overall the weather was marginally better. One of the clubs qualifying for the Final commented: "It may have been muddy, (oh yes it was muddy), it may have been a bit brambly in places, (quite a few places), and it may have been drizzly and damp, but nothing dampened the spirits of the team! Well done to all that participated, a great team effort. Now the only thing to decide is how we get to Scotland for the final this October!!!"

Judging from the social media posts many clubs enjoyed the opportunity to meet in this outdoor setting as they gathered at club tents to discuss routes and reconnect.

The twenty-six clubs who have qualified are now making travel plans for the Final, hosted by Forth Valley on 16 October 2022 at Devilla & Tulliallan with the event centre at the Scottish Police College, Tulliallan. They can make a weekend of action with the Stirling City Race on the 15th. They may be joined by clubs from Northern Ireland who have been invited to enter a Cup and Trophy team.
