Running to form with a first home finish at Whorlton and second place to the ever improving Dave Todd, Brian Martin looked to continue his efforts to retain his title.

Former Champion Danny Gordon also put his efforts into taking home 50 points at both races with two good performances. Whilst another former Champion, Peter Smith, showed he was back to his best with a great run at Aycliffe!

Former leader Ben Bourne, a newcomer to the hills, looked for maximum points at Whorlton as he looked to overtake Lucy Jefferies at the top of the table.

There was also fine efforts by both Collings, with Mark and Wendy looking to take the superior point total at Whorlton. Whilst David Curtis continues to improve, running 47:21 at Aycliffe, as he prepares for his Autumn Marathon.

Aycliffe proved to be a popular race with no less than 30 Quakers battling for points! Competition was rife across the field with points being decided by mere seconds! Both Graham Park and Diane Vaughn finished within 30 seconds of each other, was it enough?

So who took home the points and how does it affect the table? Who's top? Where did you place?

With Durham Dales coming up on Sunday, do you fancy the challenge to rack up the points?
