PROMOTED Abingdon missed out on winning their Midland League Division 2 opener by one point.

The club fielded several debutants as they delivered an impressive performance in Rugby.

Zack Smith won his A-string 100m and 200m races, with Loick Bazzi triumphing in the B event of the former.

Harrison Read (A) and team captain Jack Miller (B) claimed victory in their 2,000m steeplechase events.

In the ladies competition, Fatima Jammeh Kinteh enjoyed a hat-trick of wins in the A-string shot, discus and javelin.

Clubmate Katherine Mitchell replicated that feat across the B events.

Tiffany Cox won the A-string 100m and long jump.

Scarlett Herold took victory in the B 100m.

Meanwhile, Abingdon also delivered a strong display in the Southern Counties Veterans League.

Their men’s team finished second and the women’s side were third.

Paul Wileman competed in five events, picking up 24 points, as White Horse Harriers’ men came fifth. The club’s women finished seventh.

Amber Parker broke a club record as Bicester’s young athletes finished a superb second in their first Heart of England League Division 3 match at Leicester.

Parker became the first Bicester athlete in the under 15 girls shot put to throw more than nine metres with her winning distance of 9.06, which was also a national grade 3 mark.

It was a case of so near for Isla Bohannon, Hollie Offord, Freya McGinley and Jenny Critchley, who equalled the long-standing club record of 59.2secs in winning the under 13 girls 4x100m.

Abingdon’s Ben Claridge won silver in the 400m at the British University and Colleges Sport Championships in Bedford.

Rachel Bennett, of White Horse Harriers, was the second lady home at the gruelling 33-mile Marlborough Downs Challenge.

Witney Roadrunners’ Rachel Stanley-Evans was close behind in third.

Clubmate Lindsey Smith replicated that feat in the Marlborough Downs Challenge, raced over 20 miles.

Kidlington’s Graham Hope finished second at the Chalgrove Festival 10k.

Mark Baker, of Eynsham Roadrunners, was third.

Woodstock Harriers’ Sophie Carter was the first female home in 14th overall.

Oxford City’s Gemma Bridge was the top British competitor at the IAAF World Race Walking Team Championships in Taicang, China.

She finished 53rd, beating Commonwealth Games bronze medalist Bethan Davies.
