Oxfordshire's under 18 girls have avoided relegation from Division 5 of the AEGON County Cup.

A 7-2 win over Shropshire on the first day of the tournament in Grantham proved crucial.

Two wins across the three days from Asha Badiani, Taysie Gujral, Annabelle Denly and Ellie Vincent ensured Oxfordshire remained in Division 5.

On the second day, Oxon went down to a 7-2 defeat to Herefordshire and Worcestershire, before falling to a heavy 9-0 loss to Leicestershire on the third and final day.

The boys under 18s team were relegated from Division 3, picking up only ten points against South Wales, Suffolk and Lancashire at the Oxstalls Tennis Centre in Gloucester.

Over the first two days they lost 7-2 to both Suffolk and division winners South Wales.

They went down 5-1 to Lancashire on the final day.

Ryan Brough starred for Oxfordshire, winning a singles and a doubles rubber over the first two days in his last under 18 cup.

Oxfordshire boys under 18s will play in Division 4 next year with Hampshire and Isle of White, Northamptonshire and Berkshire.
