OXFORD City athletes won four gold medals in the British Masters Athletic Federation (BMAF) ten-mile championship.

Clubmate Stewart Thorp clocked 1hr 5mins 7secs to take the vet 60 crown from Michael Desmond (Barnet & District) by 49 seconds.
City’s Roy Treadwell had a real battle to claim the vet 65 prize, recording 1.04.52 to pip Cheltenham’s Martin Ford by just seven seconds.
Thorp, Treadwell and John Exley (1.14.29) secured the vet 55-64 team title for Oxford.
