OWEN Stepney put in a strong performance to finish fourth in the final round of the Mota-vation Series at Oxford.

The Abingdon runner finished seven seconds behind winner and overall series champion Aaron Burgess, of Oxford City, last Thursday.

Clubmate Mark Lewy finished third in the overall vet 50 standings, while Noel Blatchford was second in the women’s vet 65.

It turned out to be a busy weekend for Blatchford.

She won vet 65 gold and finished third overall in the BMAF Championship 10k Walk Road Race at Leicester.

Blatchford then competed in six events at the Southern Counties Veterans’ League Western Division final at Ashford on Sunday to help Abingdon’s women’s team finish seventh, while the men were sixth.
