HAMPSHIRE'S 18th sortie into the annual cross-country international in Coutances, France brought success right across the board for their female contingent.

Finding athletes was difficult due to a clash with other races being held on French soil, but Hampshire made light of it as their senior, junior and cadette women all celebrated team success.

The men also fared well with the seniors and juniors both finishing team runners-up and Vince Stamp placing third in the veterans' race.
