Forum A have finally managed to get themselves back to the top of Division 1 of the Oxford & District League.

But the defending champions are only a point clear, and have played a game more than their opponents.

After being held to a surprise draw by Bicester, Forum responded with an 8-2 victory over Vikings A to roar back to the summit.

Forum B had a narrow 6-4 win over Vikings B, who will be pleased with even one point to help them ease free of the relegation zone.

In Division 2, Gladiators B were taking no prisoners again as they swept aside Witney A 9-1.

Vikings C are looking good for second place in this Division after beating Haddenham A 10-0.

Vikings G picked up maximum points by winning 8-2 in their encounter with Witney B to put them top of Division 3. In Division 4, Holton are still looking strong after beating Forum L 8-2 and then Forum G 6-4.

Forum H are keeping up the pressure at the top with a 10-0 victory over Bicester D.
