RUNNERS from Larkmead School, Abingdon, left their opponents trailing in the annual Vale of White Horse schools’ cross country championships in 1980.

Three teams of six boys performed well to win the Milton Cup for the second time in three years.

The under-15 team of Stephen Bloomfield, Richard Melville, Ivan Wootton, Mark Norris, Robert Sibbald and Darrel Stark were the stars of the afternoon, with four of them being so highly placed they gave Larkmead an unbeatable lead, and they want on to win and hold the cup aloft.
