Saffron Striders produced some good results on a fine evening at the Horseheath 5k.

Held on the point-to-point race course, it proved popular with runners as Josh Entwistle finished second overall.

Both the men's and women's teams performed well, with the next round due to be held at Newmarket racecourse on June 9.
