Strong performances in the individuals too with us gaining full points in W50 with a win for Becky Osborn and second place for Cathy Tilbrook both@FVO.

The threat of a storm for the individual event the weather proved less challenging than technical hitches which delayed the starts. Putting on the VHI is a big ask for a small nation so thanks to Wales @eryri @MWOC for an enjoyable weekend on tough open terrain.

Thanks to team managers Brian and Janice Nisbet @ESOC for pulling us together and getting some great new tops too sponsored by Fergusson Law.
