THE gap between Premier and Section 1 in the Greene King ODDA Summer League told in the Kidlington Green Social Club local derby as the B team prevailed 7-2 against their A side.

The B team, from the Premier Section, romped into a 3-0 lead thanks to Sean Holly (180), Tim Tricker and Anthony Barrett (180).

The Section 1 A side pulled one back when Simon Smith defeated Mark Burns, but Neil Russell and Joe Palmer (180) made it 5-1, which became 7-1 in the pairs before Simon Smith and Mark Dobbin gained a consolation win in the final game for the A team.

Not every match goes to the form book, however, as Section 1’s Goodlake Arms B proved as they caused a major shock by defeating their Premier A teammates 5-4.

Howard Cannon and Rob Cook gave Peachcroft Social Club a 2-0 lead over the visiting Cowley Workers Club, who hit back via Wayland Honour (180) and Simon Powell.

Michael Wilkes made it 3-2 to Peachcroft, but Paul Oakley beat Steve Fisher to restore parity before Peachcroft wrapped it up with a 3-0 pairs success, Democrats visited Section 2 rivals George Bar A, where Alan Malyinko and Mark Simmonds put them 2-0 up.

Barry Wells defeated Mark Bayliss to pull one back, but Demos increased their lead to 3-1 when Steve Tricker beat Jimmy Oram.

Wayne Stevens and John Cole squared it up and the George completed their fightback with a 2-1 pairs win for a 5-4 victory overall.

Rileys A looked likely to cause an upset when they went 4-2 up against Marlborough Club, but the unbeaten Section 2 leaders hit back to win the pairs 3-0 for a 5-4 success.

Man-of-the-match was Marlborough’s Rob Hart with finishes of 116 and 108, plus a maximum 180 in his victory over Keith Ballard In Section 3, Marsh Harrier looked to be in trouble when visitors Cricketers A raced into a 3-0 lead through Dave Spiers, Chris Myers and Martin Andrews.

However, Harrier stormed back thanks to Steve James, Alan Hunter and Tony Sawyer, before a 2-1 pairs success sealed it 5-4.

Steve Donaldson, Trevor Leach, Andrew Smy and Rob Firkin won their singles to help Six Bells to a 6-3 triumph over George Bar C in Section 5. Teams should note that Black Bull A have withdrawn from this section.
