Burford moved to a point off top spot in Section 1 following a 3-0 win at home to leaders The Oxfordshire.

The closest contest was in the opening match, where Mark Oliver and Richard Connor won 3 & 2 against Nigel Lucas and Adam Riddle.

Both the following ties were clinched on the 15th green.

Joe Simpson and Bret Gaertner won 4 & 3 against Andy Stubbs and Paul Avenell.

And the whitewash was sealed when Simon Hopkins and Matt Hill triumphed by the same score against Jeff Archer and Peter Green.

The win, Burford’s second 3-0 result in as many matches, took the defending champions just behind The Oxfordshire in the table, with a game in hand.
