  WINNING will be the sole focus when Stroud make the short trip to Rockhampton in the Glos/Wilts Division tomorrow. Louis Gegg's men have had plenty of time to stew on their opening-day defeat at Painswick, last week's home clash with Lechlade succumbing to wet weather after fewer than five overs. New captain Gegg is understandably itching to get a victory on the board, and his frustration has only been magnified by the sudden...

  AT THE London Marathon Oliver Starkey and Matt Atkins both took to the start line for Stroud Athletics Club. Marathon debutant Starkey paced the race evenly, maintaining a good speed throughout to finish in an impressive two hours, 46 minutes, eight seconds – the fastest time by any Under-20 so far this year. He said: "It's a hard distance but I've put the training in and I didn't start too fast." After setting off...

  MIKE Smith and Juliet Champion emerged as Gloucestershire's top runners in the 2013 Virgin London Marathon. Smith, an experienced member of Bourton Road Runners tackling his 13th marathon, finished a highly respectable 67th overall on the championships start in a time of two hours, 32 minutes, 55 seconds. That time was well outside his lifetime best of 2:26.12, which he ran ten years ago when winning the Abingdon marathon, but it was...

• Underdogs have their day as Hill halt Cents

  What about the score?

  CONEY HILL showed dog, drive and outstanding defence to prevent Old Centralians taking a hat-trick of titles at Kingsholm. In an exceptionally high quality North Gloucester Senior Cup final, the men from Metz Way used all of their nous and cup final experience to edge a physical battle against opposition who showed glimpses of their class but did not live up to their own high standards on the day. No team had come close to matching...

  HARLEQUINS and London Irish are tracking imposing Richmond captain Will Warden – but the Clevedon-born Gloucester supporter's ultimate ambition would be a career with the Cherry and Whites. The bullocking lock continues to makes rapid strides through the rugby ranks, and is quickly attracting more and more admiring glances from London's top-flight clubs. The 24-year-old lock can now add the Richmond captaincy to his leadership...
