A reasonable turn out from club members with the first race of the afternoon, the U/13 Boys race.  Our only representative EWAN CASSIDY ran well to claim 8th spot.  The U/13 Girls followed with the club finishing 5th team through ROBYN BENNETT-16TH,RACHEL ANDERSON-18TH, MOLLY CARPENTER-24TH, and ANNA CHANNON-29TH.  In the U/15 Boys event JOE WALKER ran strongly to finish 18th with CHARLIE HOLLIDAY-38TH.  The U/15 Girls saw JESSICA RICHARDSON finish 15th, with ELIZABETH ANDERSON-16TH.  MICHAEL HALL was our our only entrant in the U/17 Mens race finishing 20th.  The U/17 and U/20 Women ran together with PHILLIPA WILLIAMS 5TH and the third U/20, and REBECCA CARPENTER finishing 24th overall.  The Senior Mens race attracted a huge field of 373 with LEE BENNETT first home for the club in 56th closely followed by KEVIN STEPHENSON-59TH. Third counter was DANIEL BALMAIN who ran doggedly to be 62nd. Other counters were MARTIN CROWE-70TH, STEVE ROBERTSON-73RD, and IAIN HARDY-114TH, PAUL TURNER running from the fast pack was 115th.

There was a good number of red and white vests on show ,with the only thing to mar the afternoon being the fact that the extra yardage added on to the Seniors course caused confusion with several athletes missing the extra loop.

The afternoon had the usual U/11 race for the youngsters to sample Cross Country with 50 runners facing the starter, with JULIETTE TAYLOR finishing in 33rd place for the club.
