DAN Blake held off James Bolton for the second time in this season’s Mota-vation Series.

The former Oxford City runner, who is now unattached, won the third round at Combe in 20.38.

It was a repeat of the opening round in May, with James Bolton finishing three seconds behind, although the Woodstock Harrier did have the consolation of being the first vet 40 home.

The consistent Aaron Burgess (Oxford City) was the next nearest challenger, claiming his third top-three finish of the series.

Headington Road Runners dominated the senior ladies’ race, with seven of the first nine finshiers.

It included a clean sweep of the podium positions, where Joanne Hayden led home Amy Johnson and Susie Power.

More than a minute ahead, clubmate Diane Foster was the first female runner to cross the line to win the LV35 category in 25.02.

Headington also celebrated LV65 success with Helen Turley.

Banbury runners won both under 19 events – Owen Knox was tenth overall, while Tia Williams claimed victory in the youngest women’s category.

As in the previous round, Oxford City were a class apart in the older men’s races.

Roy Treadwell made it three vet 70 wins from three, while Julian Richardson and Brian Green picked up their second triumphs in the vet 50 and 60 respectively.

Sam Upton had a productive few days. Having finished fifth at Combe, the Witney Road Runner was third in the Thame 10k.

It spearheaded success in the men’s team prize, as Joe Goodwood (fifth), Matthew Lock (ninth) and Anthony Lock completed the group.

Bolton won the race by almost a minute, while Headington’s Edwina McDowall was second lady.
