2019–20 – Round 2 Thanks

02 Dec 2019
The second fixture of the 2019–20 season saw the Oxfordshire Cross Country League return to Cirencester Park. Following all the recent rain the conditions were ideal for cross country with a good deal of mud to be negotiated.

Another high attendance ensured there was plenty of competition and support on the day. The senior men’s race saw another high turnout with Swindon Harriers backing up their Round 1 performance to extend their lead in the men’s team competition. In the senior women’s race the White Horse Harriers AC ladies ‘A’ team likewise extended their lead in the women’s team competition.

In the lower divisions Didcot A head both the Men’s and Women’s Division 2 standings, Witney B are the early leaders in Men’s Division 3 and Kidlington A likewise lead Women’s Division 3.

In the junior team events Abingdon A have taken the early lead in the U13 Girls’ competition, Radley A lead the U13 Boys’ competition. In the U15/U17 Girls’ competition the early leaders Abingdon A were beaten by the odd point by their closest rivals Newbury A, but still retain the lead in the competition. Lastly Radley A have extended their lead in the U15/U17 Boys’ competition

The League’s management team would like to take the opportunity to thank the co–hosting clubs, White Horse Harriers AC and Didcot Runners, along with the willing volunteers, without whom the fixture could not have gone ahead, for all their hard work in organising and hosting the fixture. As always, many thanks go to all of the officials, timekeepers, recorders, marshals and other volunteers who contributed once again to making the day a great success.

The third round of the 2019–20 Oxfordshire Cross Country League that will be held in conjunction with the 2020 Oxfordshire Cross Country Championships is scheduled to be held on Sunday, 5th January returning to Bo Peep Caravan Park, Adderbury. The fixture will be co–hosted by Banbury Harriers AC and Bicester AC. We look forward to seeing you all there again.

Thank you for your attention.
