Brief Preliminary Report as sent to Star Newspaper (which is limited to 150 words). More detailed report to follow once we are sure of the results.

In great sunny weather the Leith Masters Men and Men's B grade teams were the first to compete. The Leith Masters Men No. 1 team (28:11) anchored by Conor Delahunty (actual 4:26 to be confirmed) won comfortably in 28min 05sec with the Leith Masters Men No 2 team (29:39) finishing in third place.
Jan Craig (2nd Fastest 5:27) led the Masters Women's team (23:27) to second place. The High School Girls did well to finish 5th in their grade.
Neil McLanachan pulled out all the stops in the Men's A grade race to post an excellent 4:15 on the first lap for the Men's No. 1 team. New members Steve Munro (4.55) and the junior runners ran courageously in a quality field.
The Women's No. 1 team led by Kirsty Morris (5.02) finished in 7th position out of 13 teams. Our social mixed team finished 3rd out of 7 teams. Congrats to all those who helped or competed.
