Katie, the English Schools Inter Girls' 1500m champion, won her u17 age category by over two minutes and she also beat U20 champion Danielle Sale in the combined U17 & U20 race. Jade Edwards was a useful 5th but with Hayley Thomas unwell and no other runners there was an incomplete team. 

It was a similar story in the u20 category where Hayley Stibbs ran well for fourth, with Robyn Matson & Vicky Smith backing up well in 7th & 8th, but no fourth runner to secure the team stakes. 

Robert Jones was the only U17 Man to compete, after Ross Clarke's withdrawal,  finishing a commendable 15th. 

Just two veteran women competed and Lesley Felton led the way in 14th with a fine sprint finish while Linda Smith was 38th.

There were better turn outs in the men's events. Graham Foster showed good form to lead the club quartet home in 57^th place. Neil Bearwish ran well in the very slippery conditions to finish 61^st , and Gary Howard came home in 71^st with Kevin White completing the team in 76^th. 

Martin McVeigh continued his fine League form leading the M50 contingent home in 50th. He closely followed by Len Parrot - now in the M70 category - in 51^st and Dave Holland completed the trio in 75^th
