Kit Young starred with three big finishes as the Angel stormed back to beat hosts Democrats Club 5-4 in Men’s Section 2.

Democrats raced into a 3-0 lead with wins from Zingy Singh, Tim Tricker and James Fagg.

Angel hit back to level at 3-3 through Chris Webb, Young, whose finishes were 132, 100 and 100, and Kevin Middleton.

The visitors completed a fine comeback when a 2-1 pairs win gave them an unlikely success.

Cowley Workers Club moved closer to the title with a 6-3 success at home to Three Horseshoes.

Wins from Dyzio Slezak, Lyndon Richards and Kevin Dickerson gave the hosts a cracking start.

The Shoes pulled it back to 3-2 thanks to Steve Colling (180) and Alan Eckart.

But a super victory for Wayland Honour over John Smith gave Cowley a 4-2 lead, and a 2-1 pairs win completed their success.

The Section 4 title battle looks like going all the way, after second-placed George Bar crashed to a 5-4 defeat against Donnington A.

George are a point behind leaders Vikings Social Club A, having played one game fewer.

Section 5 leaders Village Inn completed their season with an exciting 5-4 success at Cricketers Arms.

Colin Royal gave the visitors the lead, but Cricketers stormed back to go 3-2 up through Martin Andrews, Chris Myers and Bob Harwood.

Village Inn levelled at 3-3 with wins from John Bumpass and Martyn Young and a 2-1 pairs triumph secured a victory.

This leaves them nine points clear of Catherine Wheel A, who need ten points from their last two games for the title.

Florence Park A took a giant step towards retaining the Ladies Premier title with an 8-1 win at Blackbird Bar which leaves them 17 points clear.

Butchers Arms won 5-4 at Cherwell Club B after taking a 3-0 lead through Sam Merrifield, Greta Britnell and Maggie Dexter-Naylor.

Cherwell Club narrowed the gap to 3-2 thanks to Nicola Betteridge (her first win in the top flight) and Wendy Plowman, but Sue Poyser helped Butchers over the line.
