On what will be the last race in the Winter League of 2008 25 members and visitors made the journy to Hunningham for the race known as Dowdeswell Dawdle.

This 5 mile race follows a course starting by the Red Lion Public House and then out of Hunningham along Weston Lane before turning right after a mile to take the road to Wappenbury. Another right turn along a narrow lane passes Wappenbury Hall and through Eathorpe to join the Fosse Way. This ancient road climbs up Hunningham Hill where a right turn leads onto a smooth two mile downhill to the finish in Hunningham.

Sally Hicks also ran well to gain 48 points to take the overall lead group positions as follows:-
