Oxford Stadium proudly flew the flag at the annual Midland Greyhound aw-ards at the Hilton Metropole Hotel at the NEC on Sunday.

Top of the pile was Oxford Retired Greyhound Trust organiser Jenny Hebborn who was presented with a special award for her tireless work in homing retired hounds.

It is a daunting task at the best of times trying to find suitable homes for greyhounds, but Hebborn has homed more hounds then anyone else in the entire Thames Valley region.

She is no stranger to awards for her excellent service and utmost dedication to a very worthwhile cause.

Oxford's champion trainer, Ian Wills, who is at the top for the second year running, also came in for an extra bonus when he was voted Regional Trainer of the Year.

Meanwhile, the kennel Hand of the Year award went to Karen Shepherd, who assists the busy Paddy Curtin kennels.
