TADMARTON Heath claimed their first Shaw Gibbs Oxfordshire Foursomes League win of the season by the narrowest of margins.

After the first two matches of their Section 1 home fixture with defending champions Burford were shared, it came down to the final pairings.

Andy Laird and Joel Smith won the 17th to edge ahead, but Burford almost finished all square as Richard Connor’s putt at the last lipped out.

Drayton Park also edged to victory, with a 2-1 success at Bicester in Section 3.

Again the result hinged on the final match, with David Hole and Andy Coles finishing one up.

Elsewhere, The Springs won 2-1 at North Oxford.
