A SUPERB display by Pete Smith helped Kidlington Football Club give reigning ODDA Men’s Premier Division champions Kidlington Green Social Club a big fright.

The Green Club only scrambled home 5-4 away to their newly-promoted Section 1 opponents.

Taking the pairs first, the visitors stormed into a 3-0 lead.

The Football Club hit back to take the first two singles through Rob Smith and Mick Richardson, before Sean Holly put the Green Club 4-2 ahead.

Then Smith hit two 180s, and finished one leg in just eleven darts (100-180-125 and 96 outshot) to make it 4-3.

Geordie Grant sealed the win for the Green Club before Steve Baker won the last leg for the hosts.

Abingdon United Football Club lost their unbeaten record when beaten 5-4 in a thriller away to Premier side Challow British Legion.

The hosts led 3-0 thanks to wins from Tom Baughan, Kevin Wilkins (180) and Andy Jones, but United hit back to level through Shane Turner, Dan Smith and Michael Wilkes.

The teams shared the opening two pairs, before Wilkins and Jamie Cross won the decider for Challow.

In an all-Ladies Section 1 contest, Cowley Workers Club C edged past hosts Red Lion 5-4.

The singles were tied at 3-3 after wins from Lion’s Carol Caldicut, Tracy Greenwood and Aly Bateman, were answered by Nicky Merrett, Michelle Young and Danni Phipps for the Workers, who clinched the pairs 2-1.

Sonia McBlain hit the league’s top outshot of the week with 125 to help Florence Park D defeat Kings Arms 6-3 in Section 5.
