The final round of the 2025 Thames Valley Junior Orienteering League took place on 13th December in conjunction with TVOC’s Saturday Series event at Brill Common.
There have been 10 Junior League events through 2025 in conjunction with TVOC’s Saturday Series at Coombe Hill North, Kingswood, Hill End, Cutteslowe, University Parks, Wittenham Clumps, Waddesdon, Chesham Bois, Keephill & Deangarden Woods, and Brill Common, with over 85 individual juniors taking part during the year.
The Junior League is for anyone who is aged 18 or under. Points awarded to each participant at each event are calculated against the clock, not their position relative to other juniors. For each age class on each colour course, there is a target time per km (straight line distance); and then each participant receives league points based on their individual time to correctly complete the course.
Each participant’s best points from 5 out of the 10 league events have counted towards their overall 2025 Junior League standing.
Congratulations go to the following age class winners for 2025:
| Age Class (W) | Name | Club |
| W10 | Sophie Shum | TVOC |
| W10* | Ada Shaw | TVOC |
| W12 | Hanna Shum | TVOC |
| W14 | Abigail Wyatt | TVOC |
| W16 | Izabela Wyatt | TVOC |
| W18 | Not awarded | |
| Age Class (M) | Name | Club |
| M10 | Timothy Green | TVOC |
| M12 | Luke Foster | IND |
| M14 | Jacob Deremble | TVOC |
| M16 | Campbell Fisher | TVOC |
| M18 | Logan Hatton | IND |
Note that * in the above table represents an age class where a non-shadowed participant is also recognised for an age class award as a result of their overall League standing.
Full details about the league points scored at each event can be seen on the Junior League web page, along with lots of other information and the full rules. The M12 age class turned out to be the most competitive in terms of number of participants and closest final league scores after 10 events.
The first 2026 Junior League event will be held in conjunction with the next TVOC Saturday Series event on 17th January at Kingswood.
