Joe Bandrowski clanged off a sensational 16 dolls (4-6-6) for Masons Arms B as they demolished Pheasant Inn 3-0 in Section 5 of the Greene King Oxford & District League, writes ANDY BEAL. It is very rare for someone to hit a double sixer outside the top sections and Bandrowski’s feat helped them take maximum points 16-11, 25-15, 24-14. Vikings C pipped North Oxford Con Club A in a thriller despite a six from Con Club anchor man Mick Richardson in his 13 dolls.

In the Premier Section, Three Pigeons’ Kevin Giles bagged a maximum in his 16-doll haul (5-5-6) as they beat Vikings B 2-1.

They won the opening leg 28-25, but lost the next on three sticks after it was tied 27-27. Pigeons sealed it in the final leg 27-23. Cricketers B bounced back after their opening defeat with a 3-0 win at Garsington Sports Club A. Pip Goulding (4-6-4), Kevin Baker (5-5-4) and Francis Hiller (6-4-3) led the way as Cricketers totalled 90 dolls in the leg scores of 30-22, 32-30, 28-25. Trevor Greenaway starred for the Sportsmen with 14 (6-3-5). Roger Goodall maintained his top form with 14 (5-5-4), but it could not prevent his Six Bells C Kidlington side going down 2-1 to New Club A. The opening leg went to New Club on three sticks after it was tied 27-27. Six Bells levelled 30-25 in the second, with the deciding leg going to New Club 25-24. In Section 2, Paul Holt whipped off 15 dolls, including a six (5-4-6), and Robin Busby 13 (6-4-3) for Black Prince B, but they still went down 2-1 to the Woodman.

Prince took an early lead 26-22, but Woodman captured the next two 22-19, 24-18 as Pete King top-scored with 13 (4-6-3). Luke Purcell had a brace of fives in his 14 (4-5-5) as Rose Hill A came from behind to triumph 17-21, 22-17, 21-13 at Chequers A. Neale Clarkson hit a rare six in his dozen dolls for Kennington A, who were somewhat unlucky to lose 3-0 at home to Crown Chalgrove in Section 3. They lost the first leg 19-18 and the second on three sticks after it was drawn 18-18. Crown completed the win 21-18.

Cowley Con Club banged in a score of 30 in their 2-1 Section 4 triumph at home to Tiddington Cricket Club. Sam King led the way with 14 (5-5-4) in leg scores of 18-15, 30-12, 14-23.

In Section 7, Red Lion Old Marston scored more dolls then their hosts Cricketers A (37-34) but still lost out 2-1. Cricketers won the first two legs on three sticks after they were tied 12-12 and 11-11, Red Lion winning the decider 14-11.

Andrew Edwards recorded a six in his ten dolls for Red Lion A Cassington in Section 9, but could not prevent a 2-1defeat at George B.
