The second Harrier League meeting got off to a great start with good numbers for both senior teams. There were 6 ladies and 11 men running in total. The course was challenging at the beginning due to very uneven ground, but the ground evened out for the rest of the course.

For the men’s team Steve Patterson had a great run, finishing with a time of 39:05.
