Oxfordshire Grand Prix Series 2007 ~ Round 2 Update
Last updated: Wednesday, 4 April, 2007Witney showed that their below–par performance at Banbury was just a blip with clear wins in both team competitions in the White Horse Half. Their men now share the lead in the team competition with Headington, but Alchester remain clear leaders among the women.
In the individual competition Sophie Dawson was a winner again, extending her lead over Frances Burge. Meanwhile last year’s men’s individual winner, Tony Lock heads a close contest with Vasili Zverev and Simon Pritchard.
