BURFORD won the Shaw Gibbs Oxfordshire Foursomes League Division 1 crown for the third time in four years, but only by the narrowest of margins.

The defending champions lost their final fixture 2-1 at bottom club Feldon Valley, but Dave Summers and Simon Hopkins’s one hole success proved crucial.

The single point saw Burford tie at the top with Ellesborough, but took the crown by virtue of a better head-to-head record from the two meetings.

Hadden Hill won the Section 4 title thanks to a 2-1 win at Bicester.
