EAST Oxford Conservative Club’s unbeaten record in Greene King ODDA Summer League Section 3 came to an end as they crashed to a 5-4 defeat at Village Inn.

The hosts looked up against it after going 3-0 down, but Colin Royall, Darren Andrews and John King hit back to level the match.

The visitors edged ahead with the first pairs game, but the Villagers took the last two to secure the upset.

Bottom club Cricketers Arms C also sprung a surprise 5-4 win at home to leaders Vikings.

Chris Kearney, Alan Hunter (180) and Gary Brain, plus a 2-1 pairs win, sealed the points.

The shocks continued in the ladies’ matches, where Section 1’s New Inn downed Premier outfit, visitors Black Swan, 6-3.

Top flight side Rileys were heading for a similar upset as they trailed 3-1 at home to Donnington Community Centre A, from Section 1.

Paulette Guy and Denise Pape levelled and a 3-0 pairs success gave Rileys a 6-3 win.
