Luckily only three Jones run on the hill as it leaves a few places in the top ten for the rest of the Feral's. This week the Jones family took 2nd, 5th and 6th places.

Allan Jones in 2nd place and posting a PB lead the family home, Bronwyn Jones also ran a PB finishing in 5th place and was the fastest female.

Digby Jones was one place behind his mum. Following back-to-back wins in the two previous weeks Digby was the only long course runner to have his handicap increased while mum and dad both benefitted from a minute reduction.

Long course line honours this week went to Georgia Grimmond who ran a minute faster this week. The rest of the top ten were Tony Rokov, Adrian Fattore, Maggie Croce, Adrian Baird, John Farronato and Ron Anson.

Further back at mid-field, Anthony Salmon added to his Life Member honour by also becoming the latest Golden Jogger by reaching his 3,000km milestone, that's two major achievements in one week. Congratulations Anthony.
