JESSICA Webb is in pole position to win the Oxford Mail Cross Country League senior ladies crown after the fourth round in Swindon.

The Woodstock Harrier finished third overall behind Newbury duo Jessica Franklin and Isobel Fry in a time of 26mins 28secs.

Webb is six points ahead of Eynsham’s Hannah Hale, who finished ninth in Swindon, going into the final round at the Hill End Centre, Farmoor, on Sunday, March 4.

Liz McAllister, of Eynsham, is second in the vet 35 standings after crossing sixth overall.

Clubmate Daniel Lewis and Woodstock’s James Bolton sit second and third respectively in the vet 40 competition, following their fifth and tenth place finishes at the weekend.

The under 11 boys race proved to be a tussle between three Witney youngsters, with Oscar Oweka pipping William Shayler by a second, with James Drury in third.
