It was a new years return to XC action at a very muddy and slippery Denbies vineyard. Given the congested calendar some teams were missing some key runners however all groups got out and represented GGAC.
Age Groups
An incredible haul of 3 individual medals and 2 team medals, including 2 county champions! As well as some great individual performances given the hard conditions, all runners have improved in ability and confidence.
