Rover Cowley have convincingly retained the Inter-Club League title, organised by Oxford & District Indoor Bowls Club.

The double rink competition was open to outdoor bowls clubs and sponsored by Rub-a-Dub laundries.

Rover's skips Chris Earl and Paul Comley were well-supported by 14-year-old twins Dean and Gary May, together with their father, Bernie.

The remaining team members of Lloyd Vaughan, John Philpott, Peter Stroudley, Clive Hawtin and Franco Abitabile, conceded only one rink of the 15 played, to run out worthy winners.
