In the individual events, Nick Griggs and Dean Casey both medalled in the under-20 race.
Griggs secured silver with Casey bagging the bronze.
Late-race drama in the men's U20 race at Euro Cross as Nick Griggs, with the race essentially won, gets nabbed for gold right by the line by Britain's Will Barnicoat after a stumble.

The senior men's team came eighth in their race.
"It's disappointing, but I gave it everything and if you told me yesterday I would have got silver, I'd have been buzzing. Mixed emotions really."
