OSA Recruitment Cross Country Series
Race 3 - Fauxquets Valley
15th November 2008

A record field of 80 runners turned out at Fauxquets Valley for the third event of the 5 race OSA Cross country series.

In the top Division's 6 mile event Steve Dawes came under pressure on the opening lap as Alan Rowe threw the gauntlet down with a fast start but Dawes calmly reeled him in and hit the front on the second of the six laps. Dawes pulled away and eventually crossed the line over a minute clear in a time of 38 minutes 56 seconds.

Rowe was a comfortable second whilst Dave Dyke held off a late challenge from Lee Garland to claim third.

The leading women were racing over 5 miles alongside the division two men and Louise Perrio continued her return to form to finish two minutes clear of the next woman in a time of 36 minutes 58 seconds. Leading division 2 runner Dan Smith was just 10 seconds clear of Perrio.

It was a good day for the women with Katrina Thomson and Kimberley Goodall emerging as the winners of division three and four respectively.

Newcomers Claire Queripel and Natalie Chamberlain headed the novice women's 1 mile event.
