Murray makes her return in Malcolm Cup
Christine Murray was back in action after a long break, while husband-and-wife duo, Glenn and Louise Smart, were making their cross country debuts.
As expected, the experienced Murray was first to finish for the club, and though tiring a bit on the second of the two laps, she upped the ante on the final half-mile to finish in a creditable 23:04.
