Each of the boys in the under 10’s significantly improved their scores; the difference of completing all of the 4 events. In 3rd place came Jared Flannery with 151 points, 100 points more than last time. In 2nd place reached Callum Penn close by with 167 points, exactly the same as he scored last time reaching 2nd place, which means once again in 1st place still with a great score of 209 points, reaching Bronze level was Joshua Leslie.
