IN WEEK three, reigning Premiership champions the Plough (Wolvercote) were on the receiving end of a battering at the Royal Blenheim (Oxford City).

DESPITE admitting that virtually everything went their way, the Ploughman’s Bunch! (Wolvercote) were good value for their victory over housemate and Premiership rival, the Plough.

FOLLOWING a sticky start to the current campaign which saw them draw one and lose two of their opening three matches, the Windrush Club (Witney) made it four wins on the bounce as they overturned the front-runner in the North, the Bletchingdon Nomads, 61-54.

IT wasn’t as close as that”, was the magnanimous verdict proffered by the Vicar following his Royal Blenheim (Oxford City) side’s surprise 73-71 defeat to the North Oxford Conservative Club (Summertown).

Following the fortnight festive break, hostilities recommenced last Thursday in the Oxford Mail-sponsored county leagues with a ‘Villains’-themed Tabletop.

LAST Thursday night a number or teams in the Oxfordshire Winter Quiz Leagues participated in the final competition of 2015, the Sport Tabletop.

LAST Thursday witnessed the final round of league fixtures before the traditional fortnight festive break.

WITH just one defeat in their opening four fixtures, the White Hart (Eynsham) are confounding predictions and sit proudly at the head of proceedings in the West.

IT WAS quite a week for shocks in Round Three of the Oxfordshire Winter Quiz Leagues.

Having opened their account with victory over defending champions in the North, The Blue Boar Bees (Chipping Norton), great deeds were widely anticipated from the Sun Inn (Hook Norton) in their follow-up match with The Plough (Wolvercote).
