Dan Lewis placed 20th with father and son Simon and Isaac Fell 25th and 35th respectively.

Kirk Brawn was hot on the younger Fell’s heels in 39th position.

Alex Curtis in 56th and 63rd placed Toby Hall completed the PANVAC scoring team.

The PANVAC team finished fifth and also sit fifth in the overall standings.

Thanks partly to Simon Fell and Brawn finishing well up the field, PANVAC were the leading men's masters team on the day.

The ladies team finished in seventh place, with the three runners on duty all finishing comfortably in the top half of the field
