A strong finish saw Chequers Inn A win 6-3 at home to Cowley Workers Club and stay on course to retain their Greene King ODDA Men's Premier Division title.

The visitors fought back from 3-1 down to draw level thanks to wins from Wayland Honour and Paul Oakley, who hit two maximums.

But the Chequers, who had earlier won the pairs 2-1, stormed back to claim the final three singles games through Phil Addison, Ronnie Anderson (180) and Jon Jukes.

Ampleforth Arms C suffered a second successive 9-0 defeat, this time going down to a ruthless Goodlake Arms A.

Rileys Social Club A consolidated their lead in Section 2 with a 6-3 home win over Corner House B.

Mick Kennett, Trevor Ballard and Mick O’Leary put the visitors 3-1 up and on course for a surprise win.

But Rileys hit back through Steve Perks and Martin Atherton, before wrapping up the victory with a whitewash in the pairs.

In the ladies league, Premier Division side Nuffield got the better of Section 1 hosts Berinsfield Community Centre.

The home side only trailed 3-2 at one stage. But Nuffield captain Cindy Chalmers won her game and a whitewash in the pairs secured a 7-2 win.
