DAN Hamilton won the battle of the Oxfordshire athletes to finish fourth in the Maidenhead Easter 10-mile race.

Hamilton clocked a personal best time of 53mins 47secs in decidedly chilly conditions.

This saw him edge out Chris Dettmar (Headington Road Runners) and James Bolton (Woodstiock Harriers), who were sixth and seventh respectively.

Dettmar recorded 53.52 to take the vet 40 crown, with Bolton (54.01) second in that category.

Bolton’s performance was the second fastest ever by a Woodstock athlete, while clubmate and fellow vet 40 Dave Cantwell went sixth in their rankings after finishing 36th in 58.36.

  • FOUR Radley under 15s made their indoor pentathlon debuts at Lee Valley.

Abby Cottam was their leading performer, finishing 25th in the girls’ rankings with 1,720 points and beating all her best outdoor scores.

Ciara Watkins, Owen Snuggs and Jonah Hitchings also competed.
