Steve Kimber ended the 2008 Grand Prix road race season with a magnificent victory at the Maylarch Eynsham 10K on Sunday.

Kimber, running for his first-claim club, Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow, clocked 32mins 23secs in bitterly cold conditions to win the race by a massive margin ahead of Abingdon Ambler Paul Fernandez.

Fernandez edged out Vale of Aylesbury’s Charlie May to claim the silver medal in both the open race and county championship.

Along with his Abingdon Amblers’ clubmates Les Newell and Phil Egerton, who finished fifth and seventh respectively, Abingdon’s men won the county team title.

Hook Norton’s Tom Bradford finished fourth in the open race to take home the county bronze medal in a time of 34.22.

The senior women’s race was won by Bourton Road-runner Stephanie Lane, who clocked 36.59 to finish 28th overall, while Headington Roadrunner Diane Moore was second lady across the line in 46th place to land the senior women’s county 10K title.

Liz Grolimund (Alchester) was second in the county championship.

In the vet 40 men’s category, Cherwell’s Calv Hobday won the title with his time of 35.34, while Woodstock Harr-ier Bryan Vaughan won both the open and county vet 50 crowns, clocking 36.13 to finish 16th overall.

Vaughan’s Woodstock club-mate Mike Shipway was vet 60 county champion.

In the ladies’ section, Ba-nbury Harriers’ Michelle Bartlett won the vet 35 county crown, while Alchester’s Angela Banks and Banbury’s Judy Marshall took the vet 45 and vet 55 titles.
