CHALLOW British Legion fought back from 3-0 behind to beat Peachcroft Social Club in their Greene King ODDA Winter League Premier Section clash.

Wins from Michael Wilkes, Rob Cook (180) and Neal Lowe put visitors Peachcroft into an early lead.

But the hosts were soon level through Preben Krabben (180), Kevin Wilkins (2x180) and Reg Bowders.

And the Legion continued their fightback with a 2-1 pairs success for a 5-4 victory.

Despite trailing on four successive occasions in their Section 3 clash at Cricketers Arms A, East Oxford Conservative Club held their nerve to triumph 5-4.

Crown Inn stormed to a 7-2 victory over Donnington Community Centre A in Ladies’ Section 1, with Jo Adby, Sam Moore, Phil Smith, Katie Moore and Carol Gasser winning singles.
