HANNAH Hale enjoyed a brilliant debut to help Abingdon win promotion to Division 3 of the Midland League on Saturday.

Hale won the 3,000 metres to give Abingdon victory with 449 points in their Division 4 third round meeting which they hosted at Horspath Road, Oxford.

There was a stunning display from Abingdon’s 4x100m relay team of Zack Smith, Ben Claridge, Luke Chown and Loick Bazzi, who smashed their club record with a blistering time of 43.2secs.

They beat the previous best of 45.6 which had stood for 12 years.

Abingdon have proved so dominant this season that they clinched promotion with a meeting to spare and so do not have to attend the final round in Solihull next month.
