Stuart Dudfield won his very first trophy over a demandingly wet Mallard's Pike course. Dudfield chose to race in the shorter 5.4km course and needed to run hard to stay in contention in a competitive field. He was rewarded for his efforts with third place in the senior men's category.
The Dudfield household had reason for a double celebration later, as wife, Cathy repeated her efforts from last month and picked-up more silverware after finishing third in the extremely difficult 15.4km forest course. Her performance was also rewarded with more points towards a prize purse to be shared after the next race in the series.
Rob Knight made a rare racing appearance as he joined Jon Mansfield also running the 15.4km event.
