They signed off in style with an 18th consecutive race victory stretching back to October, 2017.

Oliver Mills was the first runner home as he completed the one-and-a-half mile test in 7.59 to record a first Frostbite victory in his last junior outing before graduating into the senior ranks next winter.

Jacob Preston (third, 8.04) and Kyan Mayo (fourth, 8.15) were close behind while Issy Wilkins was the first female finisher - also in her last junior race.

She took 19th place in 9.13 with Eliza Mardon (25th, 9.31) completing the winning quintet.

Hunts would also have taken second and third places on the day were multiple teams permitted from one club. Fortunately for the other clubs, they're not!

Riverside again gave strongest chase to be runners-up at Jubilee Park and overall.

Aedon Lydon (fifth, 8.20) and Mike Sells (ninth, 8.32) were their leading performers while the BRJ juniors were 14th on the day and overall.

BRJ star Dave Hudson finished 64th out of more than 22,000 runners in the Big Half race in London with a time of 1:10.14.

David Newton took MV70 age-group victory in 1:42.38 with wife, Annette, second at FV65 level in 1:49.56.
