Kathryn Ewels came out firing after her disappointing race in yesterday’s warm-up sprint to come 2nd in today’s Middle distance Test match, 2 minutes behind NZ’s Tania Robinson. With Orla Murray coming 5th, Briohny Davey in 9th and Kirsten Fairfax 10th, the Bushranger’s women were  competitive today, only narrowly losing on points.

The men didn’t fare so well, with the best placed Bushrangers, Bruce Arthur (16th) and Dave Meyer (17th), both 6 minutes behind winner Ross Morrison, and beaten by all four Pinestars. Rob Preston was 22nd with his younger brother, Peter, a late inclusion for the team, unable to finish.
