Steve Frear and Steve Naylor will boost Woodstock Harriers’ chance of a return to the top flight when the Oxford Mail Cross Country League gets under way at Crown Farm, Ascott-under-Wychwood, this Sunday (10am).
Woodstock’s men were relegated from Division 1 last season, but will be hot favourites to make a swift return.
The pair will also be in the running for individual honours as they challenge reigning champion Darrell Bellinger (Oxford City) for the overall and senior men’s titles.
City are defending champions in men’s Division 1, while Headington will look to keep their women’s Division 1 crown.
The reigning women’s champion is Headington Roadrunner Helen Barnes.
There is a new venue this season, with Lawns Park, Swindon having the honour of hosting the final round.
