Lord Mayor of Oxford Dee Sinclair, right, took on Abingdon’s first citizen Samantha Bowring
OXFORD came out on top in the battle of the mayors.
Lord Mayor of Oxford Dee Sinclair took on Abingdon’s first citizen Samantha Bowring on Friday.
The match at Abingdon Bowls Club ended with a 155-91 win for Ms Sinclair and her team.
Ms Sinclair said: “I had a very enjoyable time. Apart from the practice I had never played bowls before.
“It is quite a lengthy game, but it was enjoyable. I wouldn’t mind having another game.”
Last year the Lord Mayor of Oxford had been unable to raise a team so a match was played out between the Mayor of Abingdon and the Vale of the White Horse District Council.
