Left;John Halligan was a clear winner again after sitting in with the leading pack for the first 2 laps. John's only scare was a potential re-appearance of the egg & chips he consumed pre race after hungry work helping out with marking the course. Right; A terrific battle for runner-up spot between Gianni Epifani (183) & Ed Gumbley (32) ended with both runners recording equal times & Gianni being credited with 2nd place. (photos Ian Astin)
