ROGER Goodall clanged off two sixes but his quest for a maximum unravelled as New Club A lost 2-1 at Swan B in the Greene King Oxford & District League.

He could only manage two in the final leg to finish with 14, which was surpassed by teammate Pip Goulding (5-6-4).

Despite their efforts, it was not enough to come out on top as the hosts won 27-22, 26-31, 22-19.

Kevin Giles’s 15 dolls (5-5-5) did help lay the platform for a win, as Gladiators A claimed a 3-0 home win over Garsington Sports A.

They took the points 28-21, 30-28, 25-24, despite Jason Weller’s best efforts (3-5-5) for the visitors.

Charlie Buckingham (4-5-5) led the way as the Woodman came from behind to beat Three Pigeons.

The visitors, for whom Dave Townsend (5-5-4) also clanged off 14 dolls, took the first leg 28-21.

But the home side came roaring back to take the next two 28-22, 23-12.

Pete Rampton had a six in his 14-doll haul (3-5-6) as Six Bells D Kidlington whitewashed Gladiators B 19-17, 21-18, 23-19 in Section 2.

The Glad’s anchor man, Chris Webb, hit a baker’s dozen (4-4-5).

Rose Hill club scored more dolls than visitors Black Swan (43-41), but still lost 14-9, 16-14, 16-15 in Section 4.
