Abingdon and Oxford Sports B fought out a thrilling 2-2 draw in Mixed Division 1 of the 2-Pair League.

There was nothing to separate the sides throughout the match, with both final rubbers going the three sets.

Sports' Suki Good and Ed Duncan beat Roberto Liddi and Helen Ashbury 6-2, 6-3, but Abingdon levelled when Brian Mitchell and Helen Croft saw off Sally Preston and Richard Berry 6-3, 6-3.

Good and Duncan won a battle with Mitchell and Croft 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 to put Sports on the brink, but Liddi and Ashbury held their nerve in a tense final set to beat Preston and Berry 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 and secure a draw.

There were no such problems for Sports' first team, who crushed Wantage.

Jim Baker and Holly Hoare were in devastating form, beating Ian Wilson and Judi Wilde 6-0, 6-0, before seeing off Tim Ramirez and Dee Jones 6-0, 6-2.

Ramirez and Jones did win their side's only half, however, halving their match with Marc Stydom and Caroline Good 3-6, 6-4.

In Division 3, Colston put out far too strong a team for opponents Deddington.

Jim Johnston and Kirsty Bamber dropped just two games, with Paul Sherratt and Liz Bamber losing ten as they eased to a 4-0 whitewash.
