Evenlode, who finished second in Men's Division 2 of the Oxford and District League, are to challenge for a place in the top flight.

Under league rules, the runners-up in the second division have the right to tackle the second-bottom side in Division 1 - and Evenlode have decided to challenge Gosford Hill A.

Meanwhile, Gosford Hill have let the Women's Division 1 title slip away by incurring penalty points for fielding incomplete teams.

They beat Abingdon A 5-4 in their final match, but are now out of the reckoning.

In Division 2, Witney Leys A beat Thame 8-1 in their last match to earn promotion.

Berinsfield go up from Division 3 following a 6-3 win over Windrush.

Didcot Power Station topped Division 4 with a 6-3 win over Evenlode B.

Park A were crowned champions of Mixed Division 2.

Chris Gibbins and Jackie Yewlet led them to a 6-3 win over Gosford Hill B and, with Wantage B then conceding 9-0, it gave Park the title.

Magdalen Eynsham have won Division 2b on rubbers won, after finishing level on victories and losses with Evenlode A.

Magdalen took the title after pipping undefeated Evenlode A 5-4 and then thrashing Park B 8-1.

It gave the team of Terry Kirk and Jackie Sharp, Graham Beal and Kim Amos, and Nick Ward and Louise Jordan the edge by four rubbers.
