The women's team of Rachel Fishwick, Honor Duffield, Carol Foster and Dawn Platt managed to bring the club home in a very creditable 10th position in the women's section, with Honor clocking the quickest time with 29 minutes 6 seconds.
Striders third team competed in the mixed team's section and finished in third position.
