Thanks to all those who submitted their answers to the Summer League Trivia Quiz. I can now reveal the joints winners with an impressive score of 19 out of 20 are Sienna and Joe Bosonnet. 

Question 13, may have caused a little confusion as a map scaling error listed the Currabinny event in the results as being 8.4km but it was in fact only 4.2km. The longest course was actually the Watergrasshill Long course which was >7km! It was a long run just to get to see the new quarry.
