Final tables 2017/18

SWOA

There were several other QO members who were regulars at the so-called Galoppens this season. How they got on is summarised in a table at the bottom of this page.

The series

In Galoppens, you're pitted against some of the best terrain in the South West, over nine events from autumn to spring. Venues vary from runnable forest, open hillside, moorland, dunes and mixed New Forest terrain.

Galoppen is a Swedish word for a regional league.
