HOLTON A find themselves top of Division 1 again after Forum A were held to a surprise draw by Bicester A in the latest round of Oxford & District League matches.

Holton A beat Rutherford 9-1, with Elson Costa and Pawel Jaskolski maximums.

But Jeff Rigby’s victory over Karl Bushell was the main story behind Forum A’s failure to secure victory.

Bushell and Greg Boone won twice, but so did Rigby and Tony Gorman – meaning Bicester's victory in the doubles was enough to earn a share of the spoils.

In Division 2, Nick Langley and Andrew Grant Robertson starred in Forum C's 8-2 win over Bicester C.

Gladiators A beat in-form clubmates Gladiators B 9-1 in Division 3.
