Superb run by Steve Dawes to draw out a massive victory margin of nearly 4 minutes.
Tom Druce looked to be pushing Ingrouille for 2nd place before stopping after four laps.
Both Druce and Dawes appear to be benefitting from the guidance of the islands top distance athletes Lee Merrien and Alan Rowe.
Despite quality being thin on the ground in the mens field the women's race was a different story. Gail Merrien clear winner but solid runs from ex Isle of Man athlete Diane Lawrence (who had to pull out of the IOM island games team through injury), Tracey Dowinton and others. Barring Disaster Dawes and Merrien will win divs 1 and 3 of series but other divisions wide open. Martin Spratt again showed his liking for tough cross country courses and is in a strong position for div 2.
