Ottershaw Winter Series - Round 2 - 25/10/09

The second round of this year's Twickenham CC Ottershaw Winter Series saw the 33 starters tackle 10 laps of the Staple Hill circuit, followed by a further 10 of the Valley End circuit. An energetic performance from Hounslow & District Wheeler Paul Holdsworth deserved much greater reward than his second place, as he was pipped to the line by Henry Furness.
