Conditions were more favourable for this year's Cross-country race but the preparation was not so good. A slight deviation from the established course meant that some 300 yards was omitted making the winning time invalid as a record.

This season saw a reversal of last year's result with Rise coming home a comfortable first some thirty points in front of the runners up, Queen's, with the Manor in third place. Four of the six runners to count in the Rise team were in the first ten runners in a field of fifty-three, which clinched the trophy for them.

THE JUNIOR LONG RUN

Dry conditions on a sunny day ensured a close race. Although the out-right winner, A. R. M. Johnson of Queen's, seemed in no real danger of being pipped at the line, as was the case last year, all of the first ten places came in within a space of 30 seconds, with many runners changing position in the last 100 metres of the 1st XV rugby field.

In the team trophy Queen's were easily winners with Rise runners-up and Manor third by equal margins.
