Begbroke put in the performance of the day in Division 4 of the Oxford & District League with a shock win at home to Bloxham.

Having suffered two 6-0 defeats in their first two games, Begbroke upset the formbook to take five of the six points.

Hanborough also continued their good run of form, beating Charlbury 4-2, Gerald Busby's rink leading the way with 39 shots.

In Division 1, Banbury Central extended their unbeaten run by crushing a struggling Rover side to achieve their third 5-1 victory.

Les Campion's rink top-scored with 39 shots, while Paul Comley's four was Rover's only reply.

Carterton saw off the challenge of Summertown with a closely fought 4-2 win against their rivals. Robbie Clanfield sealed the points for Carterton with a good victory over Middleton Cup teammate Mark Charlett.

The main game in Division 2 saw promotion rivals Bicester and West Witney come face to face. Although West Witney won on three of the four rinks, Jason King's high-scoring rink managed to earn three points for Bicester, enough to earn a draw.

Headington recorded a comfortable home victory over Kidlington, whose early promise is now starting to wane.
