Nick Rowles in 73rd, Gerard Eivors 93rd, Mark Bradford 145th, Chris Thurburn 152nd, Chris Finney 223rd, and Andrew Botrill 232nd positions, completing a strong set of team scorers.

The rest of the men followed in quick succesion: James Ogilvie, Kev Laz, Damon Bland, Martin Yeomans, Pedro Lima, Roger Weston, Tim Moore, Alan Edwards, Mukesh Deva and Keith Baron.

First Home for the Ladies was Emily Wideman who stormed through to 17th place. Sarah Terry finished in 27th position, with Faith Tipper not far behind in 30th. Andrea Trickett was final team scorer for her fist cross country with 69th position.
