Woodstock Harriers’ new signing Steven Naylor saw off defending champion Steve Kimber to land the Maylarch Eynsham 10k and Oxfordshire County Championship titles.

Naylor crossed the line in 33mins 16secs, 17 seconds ahead of Kimber (Windsor Slough & Eton) and in so doing helped Woodstock retain the Oxfordshire Grand Prix Series title.

Abingdon Amblers were the leading men’s team with four runners finishing in the top ten.

Paul Fernandez led them home in third, with Les Newell fourth, Simon Fisher seventh and Phil Egerton ninth.

They also claimed the county championship title, with Daniel Hamilton (13th) replacing Newell as the fourth to count.

Oxford City were second team in both categories, while Julian Richardson was first veteran home and fifth overall after challenging Fernandez and Newell down the finishing straight.

City also had the first vet 50 runner home in Brian Green, while Banbury Harrier Bruce Hendrie claimed the vet 60 prize in 41.18.

The women’s race was won in emphatic fashion by 45-year-old international athlete Sarah Gee (Reading Roadrunners), who clocked 35.50.

Last year’s women’s champion, Stephanie Lane (Bourton Roadrunners), came second in 36.49.

Headington Roadrunner Jude Craft was the third lady home in 37.16, while her clubmates Diane Moore, Adrienne Hopkins and Rachel Shaw secured both team titles.

In the Oxon GP series, which takes in 14 races over the calendar year, Woodstock’s men finished level on points with City in the team event after the sides came third and second respectively at Eynsham.

But they bagged the title on countback, while Woodstock’s James Bolton saw off Witney Roadrunner Tony Lock in the individual event.

Headington Roadrunners cruised to victory in the ladies’ team event, but Alchester’s Sarah Rendell beat Headington’s Moore into second for the individual crown.
