    Held up at the back throughout - no impression made - well held in 7th

  • Pos 9 29 Sep Brighton

    Sluggish start - settled towards the back - nudged into contention two out before fading to finish ninth

  • Pos 10 18 Sep Chelmsford City (AW)

    Held up early - never a factor - finished 10th
