With it being the first counting event in the club’s internal championship it was no surprise to see the skwerls out in large numbers for a race that takes place from the Scottish Police College, Tulliallan.

With the quartet of Bryan Innes, Dave Clark, Tony Martin and Brian Cruikshank finishing eighth, 24th, 30th and 34th, respectively, the skwerls walked off with the coveted team prize just edging out host club Carnegie Harriers.
