Burford defeated Chipping Norton 3-0 in three tight matches to go top of Section 1 in the Shaw Gibbs Oxfordshire Foursomes League.

Andy Purdy holed an eight-iron to help him and John Lally to victory in match two.

North Oxford's Charlie Powell, 16, only took up golf a year ago, but almost had a great start to his league career in Section 2.

He and Shaun Smith pushed Drayton Park's Eddie Pepperell and Barry James all the way in match three before losing by two holes.
