The Next race was the under 9 boys over the same course, League individual winner Rory Ridler won the last two races and he went out hard to keep his 100% record, he led all the way round but had to keep pushing as the gap wasn’t long enough to enjoy a glory run, but he came home as League under 9 winner, Edward Wyer ran a great race to come home in 7^th place having to keep his team mate behind him with a strong finish in 8^th place.

Race 3 was the under 11 Girls, the girls are dominating this age group, with 2 laps of running and 2400m of course Praiya Forman led from the start to take a superb win and win the individual under 11 girls title, Matilda Saunders had a great battle behind but in the end had to settle for 3^rd place on the day, next home was Olivia Kwit who gave all her go to stay with the top 3, she had to settle back with a strong finish took 5^th place and with  Cecily Wyer moving through the strong field from a slow start in 10^th place secured a unbeaten team win and take the Team League title. Isabella Chapman came home in 14^th and Flo Randall-Bird 23^rd the other TK girls.

The under 11 Boys race saw around 85 starters the biggest field of the day, again with the under 11 girls they were top of the League and unbeaten, Chester Bailey after seeing two of his club friends win their last two races went out fast to split the field, his solid run all the way round the two lap course kept him 20 seconds clear to take the clubs third win on the day, Lenny Wyvill had to battle hard to finish in 4^th place, with Matthew Jones not far behind came home in 6^th place, it was then down to their next scorer Idris Gaye who came in 15^th to secure yet another Team League win. Jacob William was next home in 41^st but James Rehill had to pull out halfway round.

TK big guns were out in the under 13 Girls, having to win on the day to take the league title, they did in a great team effort all round, Ella Larkin secured her second win in the league by gradually moving clear of the field and TK fourth win in a row, and a great run by Quinn Joyce who kept this position working hard all the way round came home in 3^rd place, and another great run came from Tilly Clare securing 5^th place and a fast finishing Darcy Claridge in 7^th secured their win on the day and Team Winners.

In the under 15/17 race, Olivia Bentley was the only clubs runner in this large field, she ran a superb race to come home as first under 15 girl and only 5 boys were in front of her, this meant that she won the under 15s girls age group and took TK 5^th win of the day.
