OXFORD Ladies’ successful season continued when they scooped the Silver League title for the third year in succession.

The team, who have won the President’s Cup and are through to the semi-finals in the Mail on Sunday Classic, defended their league title with a 5-2 win away to Huntercombe.

Maggie Findlay, the captain, said: “It is a great testament to the competitive spirit and determination of a relatively small group of individuals who have really worked hard as a team and simply don’t like losing.”

Jan Glover, the club’s captain, said: “Our bronze league team are also contesting the county final and if they could pull off a win it would be an extraordinary hat-trick of county events.”

  • LAURIE Canter finished first as Frilford Heath hosted a first stage qualifier for European Tour hopefuls.

The Bath golfer finished 12-under after four rounds, as 27 men progressed.
