James Bolton led our men home to 2nd team position and was 4th senior man with Dave Cantwell having a particularly good run for 3rd V40. Bryan Vaughan took 2nd V50 honours & Mike Shipway was 1st V65. Kerry Steele & Sue Cantwell ran well for our girls but Sophie Carter had to pull out with a chest complaint in mid race. It was good to see Hans Price & Gavin Bird back in good form and it is farewell to Martin Ineson who is moving away from the area and running his last race for us. There were pbs for Dave Cantwell, Martin Ineson, Gavin Bird and Mark Pidgeon and an excellent debut run over the distance for Neil Preddy.
