Oxfordshire Grand Prix Series 2007 ~ Round 6 Update

Last updated: Wednesday, 18 July, 2007

Headington’s men became the first club to post 2 victories this season and have opened up a small lead over Witney. Their women’s team meanwhile took their 4th successive victory and already look a good bet to retain their title without the tradition last–ditch effort at Eynsham.

Sally Pitts is being challenged by Jude Craft who is doing more races than usual this year. Tony Lock continues to add to his lead over his closest rivals.
