With two wins and a third place from the first three matches, the SAC women have built up a healthy lead at the halfway stage in the series.

Despite missing several of their fastest runners, the men's team still produced a solid performance with scorers Guillaume Ninevan, Andrew Milne, Lee Lintern, Andrew Hutchinson, Andy Nicoll, Andrew Mead, Jimmy George and Zachary Ramsden helping them to fifth place on the day. After this run, the men's team is now fifth in the standings.
