Plymouth’s under-18s took second but were nearly three minutes down, as their Holly Reid was third best overall with a 15:06 split on the final leg.
The W45 trophy also went to Tavistock and their Caroline Stevens was fastest of the women vets with 16:58.

EMGP CORBY 5, Northamptonshire, June 28
With five runners in the first eight home, Rugby and Northampton AC dominated, as their Dominic Jones won with 25:06, Martin Duff reports.
Alice Belcher was unbeaten in the summer long series in 2022 and continued her winning streak at Silverstone in this season’s opening round but missed the subsequent races before a low key run out at Weedon. However, the Rugby and Northampton runner was back to make it a club double with a 29:46 women’s section victory.
This relegated Rachel Doherty, the winner of the Weedon event the previous week to a distant second.

WEETSLADE RELAYS, Lockley Park, Claremont, Newcastle, Tyne & Wear, June 28
Sunderland Harriers moved up from second last year to take the event where at least one runner must be over-35 and another a woman, Martin Duff reports.
Liam Taylor gave Sunderland a good start with a 14:09 clocking, that stayed as the fastest over-35 time as his club led throughout. Jessica Fox followed before Stephen Jackson’s 13:20 finished the job.
Wallesend’s Jennifer Berry was quickest amongst the senior women, but her 15:42 was not quite enough to overhaul Morpeth for second overall spot. Her time was comfortably bettered by former three-time English Schools champion, Justina Heslop, now 44, who ran 15:21.
Overall (3×2.6m): 1 Sunderland 42:24 (L Taylor 13:09, J Fox (W) 15;55, S Jackson 13:20); 2 Morpeth 44:12 (T Prentice 13:31, G Floyd (W) 17:29, G Lowry 13:13); 3 Wallsend 44:19 (T Sursham 13:33, J Berry (W) 15:42, J Duthie 15:04)
