HANNAH Hale enjoyed a brilliant debut to help Abingdon win promotion to Division 3 of the Midland League.

Hale won the 3,000 metres to give Abingdon victory with 449 points in their Division 4 third round meeting which they hosted at Horspath Road, Oxford.

There was a stunning display from Abingdon’s 4x100m relay team of Zack Smith, Ben Claridge, Luke Chown and Loick Bazzi, who smashed their club record with a blistering time of 43.2secs.

They beat the previous best of 45.6 which had stood for 12 years.

Abingdon have proved so dominant this season that they clinched promotion with a meeting to spare and so do not have to attend the final round in Solihull next month.

Banbury finished sixth in their Division 5 meeting at Dudley.

Abby Anson won the 100m in 12.6secs, while the men’s 4x100m relay team of Dan Houchen, Alfie Rowett, Sam Hook and Ollie Sprio also triumphed in a time of 44.5.

l RICHARD Jegou won two gold medals at the Welsh Masters Championship in Brecon.

The White Horse Harrier took the shot put with a throw of 9.54m and the weight with 10.94m.

He also came second in the hammer (24.60) and third in the discus (27.72).

l WITNEY Road Runners juniors set a new best time in their annual marathon relay at Radley.

Some 39 athletes ran a full marathon distance as a 4x100 metre relay, covering 105 laps and passing the baton 420 times.

They set a record time of 2hrs 9mins 11secs, smashing the previous record by 30 seconds.

l ABINGDON junior Elias Lawton won the Didcot Fun Run, while clubmate Beth Darwent was the first girl home.

l THE third round of the Motavation Series takes place at Combe tomorrow night.
