Leon and Andrew Gordon also keeping at their heels.
Arnold Rogers was however, not to finish as winner, with Gabriel Sandor finishing two minutes ahead with Guerrero and Lopez Perez of Calpeans coming in second and third.
Arnold, alongside Robert Matto, Maurice Turnock, Philip Macedo and Leon Gordon having returned from taking part in the European Athletics Cross Country Championships in Berlin. What was to be a muddy affair for the Gibraltar team which saw Rogers finish the fasted from the Gibraltar team in 81st place with the rest of the team filling in the spots up to 87, sharing positions with Monaco runners.
The women’s category was once again to see Kim Baglietto finish in first place with little competition. Her race mainly competing against the men’s who have provided her with the pace to keep on building on her times.
