Geran Hughes, another member getting over long term injury, again ran superbly, finishing in 33mins 15secs for 43rd position, just under a minute ahead of Matthew Ashton, who finished in 34mins 13secs for 60th position. Rob Batterbee made his league debut with a tremendous 34mins 53secs for 75th, while Keith Elliott continues his return to form with an equally impressive 36mins 30secs for 111th. Grahame Shone put in his usual hard-working performance with a superb 37mins 16secs for 128th, just five positions and fifteen seconds ahead of the ever reliable Ed Reid. Mike Carrighan improved on his first league position by a fantastic twenty positions, finishing in 154th position, while Mark Mayers had another very satisfactory run, finishing in 41mins 5secs for 218th. Peter Hardy also ran very well completing the course in just over 43mins for 240th, while Alan Lucas wad another fabulous run finishing in 45mins 57secs for 275th.
