The stars of the day were the boys team of Daniel and Steven Martin,Calumn Meldrum and Fraser Angus who romped home in the final a full three seconds ahead of their nearest challengers and roared on by a vociferous support  became Scottish Champions..A special mention also to the second boys team of Declan McGhee,Andrew Morrison,Robbie Swift and Brendan Lynch who although one of the youngest in the competition also made the final and came a very creditable 5th.

The hastily rearranged girls team of Kirsten McClymont,Anna George,Rhea McTaggart and Jamie Hood ran extremely well to make the final where they came 6th.
