Leinster League Final 2024


The details for the final even of the 2024 Leinster League are now available at the event page and entries are open here. The event is being organised, planned and run by members of the Irish Junior Orienteering Squad as a fundraiser for squad activities. You can support the squad by enetering the event, whether you plan on running or not - either select a course and enter as normal, or select the "Non Runner" option to just donate €5 to the squad.

Summer Series 2024



It's the glorious return of the CNOC Summer Series  - Tuesday evening orienteering in May and June. This year, we are easing back in with four events:

Donadea on May 21st: https://www.orienteering.ie/fixtures/donadea-21/
Naas on May 28th: https://www.orienteering.ie/fixtures/tbc-8/
Curragh on June 11th: https://www.orienteering.ie/fixtures/curragh-4/
Hollywood on June 18th: https://www.orienteering.ie/fixtures/hollywood-forest-2/

Entries are open for all events now, using the links above. Details including Google Maps links, entry fees, etc are listed there.

The first three events form the league portion of the series - we will have new custom medals for the top three male and top three female runners on each course (Adventure/Medium/Long). We will also have small chocolate-flavoured prizes for juniors who complete 3 out of the four events (the last event counts for this). Normal Orienteering Ireland League scoring will be used.

Club AGM (2024)

We recently had our (long overdue) club AGM, and a new committee was voted in:



Well done to all - the club can't exist without the volunteers who give up their time, expertise and energy to run it! There are also numerous ordinary committee members - we are an inclusive bunch, so anyone who is interested in the general running of the club is welcome to become one.


New OCMs: Eileen Loughman, Bernie O'Boyle, Hugh Cashell, Ciara O'Hagan, Chris Murray, Noirín Ní Shimidh

Existing OCMs: Debbie Whelan, Michael Malone, Mariia Malone, Colm Hill


New Website

As part of our move to Google, we're pulling the old site (kicking and screaming) from blogger to google sites - bear with us! Main feature for us is to streamline the management of the website, and to setup a better/simpler system for people to become members.
