Vikings B are now clear favourites to win the Oxford & District Division 2 title following their emphatic 9-1 demolition of Haddenham A.

Roel Dullens and Paul Borrowdale both scored maximums for the leaders, with Bill Mason adding a brace.

Sam Harrison, Division 3's top player, played up as substitute for Forum and won twice.

Vikings D emerged as Division 3 champions with a 6-4 victory over nearest rivals Vikings C, taking the decisive doubles 16-14, 4-11, 10-12, 11-7, 11-7.
