As Houses, Lincoln won the Junior Girls and Inter Girls age groups; Clare House won the Junior Boys and Senior Girls’ races, and Stafford won the Inter Boys and Senior Boys categories resulting in Lincoln coming 3rd overall with 24 Hunt Shield points achieved, and Clare and Stafford finishing in joint first with 30 Hunt Shield points.

Most importantly however, are the numbers of finishers per House as this shows true House dedication. Clare was 3rd with 86% finishing, 2nd was Lincoln with 89%, but Stafford came first with a huge 94% of the House finishing the course. Well done Stafford, and to all runners!
