MARK Stocker had a maximum and a 100 checkout to help Kidlington Football Club to a 6-3 win over visitors Queens Head A.

Matty Bray levelled after Stocker’s fine start in the Cowley Workers ODDA Section 2 clash.

Pete Smith and Peter Gough opened up a 3-1 lead for the hosts, which was cancelled out by Alex Ward and Mark Fagg.

But Kidlington were not to be denied, sweeping the pairs 3-0 to come out on top.

Didcot Railway Club, of Section 1, blew Premier side Democrats away with a fast start.

They took all three pairs matches, which were played first, before Alex Ball, Paul Godding (180) and Stuart Rideout gave them a winning 6-0 lead.

The Democrats finally got off the mark with wins from Adam Bowman, Rob Adnams and Lennon Craddock.

The all section one clash saw hosts Cowley Workers Club A score a narrow 5-4 victory over the visiting Kidlington Green Club.

The battle for the Section 1 title in the ladies’ competition will go to the wire, with the top three separated by just seven points.

Witney Snooker Club took a giant step towards the title after a convincing 7-2 win at Bletchingdon Social Club.

Blackbird Bar are five points further back after a 5-4 win over the visiting Red Lion.

Donnington Community Centre are also still in the mix after a brilliant 7-2 win at Cricketers Arms leaves them a further two points adrift.
