First home on the night was Jeni Richards in 159^th position overall, and in the process won the 2^nd prize for the season in the FV45 Category. Just one position further back on the night was Carol Willgoose in a time, a position good enough to insure that she became the FV50 Champion for the season, while Sian Hall had another great race finishing in 188^th position on the night thus securing 3^rd position overall in the FV35 Category in her first full season of racing. Christine Birch made her debut for the club and finished in a magnificent 196^th overall in a time of to complete a fantastic night for the women, who can now look forward to a life in the First Division next season.

Unfortunately the men’s team were already relegated to the second division before the night and only managed to field a team of eight. They were however lead home in style by Mark Mayers who had a tremendous run, coming home in 102^nd with Ed Reid not far behind him in 115^th. Mike Carrighan continued his excellent form finishing in 142^nd with Anthony Howe completing his second race for the club in a fabulous time 180^thposition. Anthony was followed very closely by Andy Goodson, who ran his usual excellent race finishing 187^th.  Alan Lucas just three days after completing the London Marathon still ran magnificently well to finish in 211^th position, while John Essary completed his eighth full season of Borders League races by finishing 228^th. The team was completed by Jonathan Perry who had an excellent race finishing in 229^th, while Club Captain Darren Blazier, although injured at present, still turned up on the night to add his support to all.
