A resurgent Andrew van Kints pushed Priest all the way in the four-mile event in which Mercier was third overall in the 130 plus field and emerged top woman.

It was runner-up Andrew Van Kints’ last race on local soil before the pilot at Specsavers leaves the island and takes a new role based in the Antarctic.

With maximum points from the opening two events both winners are in strong positions to claim their respective titles.
