With leaders Bicester sitting it out with a bye, Evenlode A took over top spot in Division 2 of the Five Disciplines League as the fifth round was hosted by Cramic in Banbury.

Evenlode pipped Park 234-216 after a very tight match.

The men’s singles saw Evenlode’s Zander Hurley come through 25-24 and then drop the second game by the same scoreline to Chris Wong.

The women’s singles was almost as close as Evenlode’s Anna Waring took the first 25-18, only to drop the second game 25-22 to Cat Smirnova.

There was only one point in it as the fifth discipline started, but here Park’s John Boyd and Wong proved too strong for Hurley and Rob Prior.

Cramic scored a maximum 250 against Evenlode B.

Windrush B ousted Gosford Hill B 199-196, despite the final men’s doubles going to Gosford’s Chris Buckle and Patrick Tumain.

Round 5: Cramic 250, Evenlode B 170; Windrush B 199, Gosford Hill B 196; Park 234, Evenlode A 21; Bicester bye.

Current order: Evenlode A 1071, Cramic 975, Park 959, Bicester 931, Windrush B 845, Gosford Hill B 809, Evenlode B 633.
