A very strong run by Lucy Brown saw her finish with a top twenty place and 3rd V40. In the ladies race, she was supported by Paula Cullen who ran her socks off and battled for places right up to the finish. However, their efforts were in vain as it was five to count for team places.
In the men's race, Gary Shaw stormed round the course, again to take a top twenty place and first V50 by a country mile. Because he is over 70, Raymond Banks could have run over the ladies course, but he missed that race and therefore chose to run in the senior race. It was lucky that he did, as he was our sixth counter, thus ensuring that we had a team place. It was a bit of a dad's army team, as it was comprised of all vet runners. As a result, we struggled in the overall positions, but did quite well in the vets race, finishing 3rd team.
