After suffering during a gruelling opening weekend, the men went to Nuneaton in determined mood and fought hard to pull back almost 300 points and finish in a well deserved 14th place. After this gritty display the men are still fighting to avoid relegation, but now have a chance of staying up. Finishing positions were:
22 Will Ferguson 37.23
41 Chris Driskell 38.35
104 Jo Maddocks 41.28
105 Rich Shardlow 41.32

149 JJ Willson 43.37

240 Andy Patterson 48.59
263 David James 52.10
Meanwhile, in Wolverhampton, the ladies were led home by in-form Jo Wilkie who is having the season of her life. Jo Was backed up by excellent performances which meant the Striders ladies finished 15th on out of 33 teams overall, with the Striders Masters team coming a superb 5th out of 24 teams. Finishing positions and times were:
54 Jo Wilkie 26.35
