Canford Hants League Results
*17/1/08 Under 20s take top ten finishes - Laurent Kelly and Matt Kiernan ended this year's Hampshire League cross country on a positive note despite relegation from the top division by the narrowest of margins.

Overton were beaten in the final fixture, but that was only enough to level the scores. Overton remained in the division on aggregate scores finishing with 1945 to Bournemouth's 1998; an average of just two places over the twenty-five scoring contributions. The Kings Park club did however manage to beat Poole Runners for the second successive year.

Although below par on the final fixture, Laurent's seventh placed finish in the Under 20s was his best of the series. He secured fifth overall in the category and 2nd non-Aldershot finisher. Meanwhile Matt Kiernan's consistency over the series earned him a tenth place overall in the same category.

On the day itself Dave Mason was the club's first scorer running second claim while Mike Hammacott just a minute further back registered his best ever Hampshire League finish in thirty-eighth.
