WOODSTOCK Harrier Steve Naylor blitzed the field in astonishing style to land the 2010 Eynsham 10K men’s title, and with it the 10K Oxfordshire crown.

From the first gun, Naylor raced away from the field of more than 500 runners.

By the end of the first of two twisting laps, he was out of sight of the pursuing pack, led by Headington’s Gary Harris and James Bolton of Woodstock, winning in 31mins 25 secs.

Oz Ellis from Abingdon Amblers, was more than two minutes adrift for the runners-up spot, crossing the line in 33.28.

Harris was ten seconds further back in third place.

Excellent packing by Abingdon Amblers saw them to the men’s team title.

With Ellis leading the way, Abingdon’s other three points-scoring athletes all finished in the top ten as Abingdon saw off Headington by 25 points.

Simon Fisher was fourth in 33.40, with Les Newell eighth in 33.55 and Paul Fernandez ninth in 34.07.

Daniel Hamilton (Abingdon) took the junior men’s title as he finished sixth overall in 33.43.

Despite Naylor’s efforts, Woodstock’s men had to settle for third in the team event.

Julian Richardson (Oxford City) won the vet 40 race, finishing tenth overall in 34.08, although the county title went to Woodstock’s Dave Cantwell.

Alchester’s John Nelson took the vet 50 honours, and with it the county title, finishing 41st in 37.19.

Jude Craft (Headington) made a welcome return to action to win the women’s race.

She clocked 36.48, taking victory in the race and landing the Oxfordshire vet 35 women’s title.

Alongside Diane Moore (third in 38.44) and Charlotte Harris (12th in 41.15), Headington secured the women’s team title.

Sophie Carter (Woodstock Harriers) was the senior women’s winner, finishing second behind Craft in 37.05.

Carter also secured the senior women’s county crown, while Nicola Gomm took the vet 45 category for Witney Roadrunners.
