Hotshot Stuart Dutton fired in three maximums to help Rileys SC to victory as they opened the defence of their Summer League Premier Section title.

Rileys were trailing hosts Peachcroft SC 2-1 when Dutton took to the oche against Paul Cross.

Peachcroft had taken the opening game when Barry Radford (180) beat Phil Addison, before Riley’s levelled through Ade Larner, who defeated Michael Wilks.

The hosts regained the lead with Les Radford’s win over Aaran Stevens, but Dutton’s brilliant display made it 2-2.

Roger Haines edged Rileys ahead for the first time, beating Mark Breakspear.

But Peachcroft made it 3-3 thanks to Paul Champ’s fine win over Ollie Varney.

Howerver, Rileys showed their class in the pairs, taking all three for a 6-3 success Section 1 side, The Angel, made their best start to a season in many years when they won 6-3 at home to Premier opposition Butchers Arms.

Wins from Kit Young, Roy Prior, Jim Wiggins, Jason Cattermole and Steve Clark gave them a 5-0 lead.

Butchers’ Ian Moss stopped the rot when he beat Kevin Middleton, but Angel sealed victory in the pairs.

In Section 2, College Oak came from behind to beat hosts Steventon Social Club 6-3.

Steventon led 2-1 after wins for Paul Kent and Derek Lucas.

But College then took control and wins from Mike Woodbridge, Shane Paintin and Dene Tierney before sealing the result in the pairs.

Newly-promoted Kidlington Green Social Club lost 6-3 away to Cowley Workers, after sharing the singles, thanks to Mark Stocker, Steve Baker and Mark Barnes.

PETE Fisher, from Kidlington, took the first prize of £300 in Riley’s Oxford inaugural open competition.

In the final he beat Sean Holley, who received £100.

The losing semi-finalists, Aaron Stevens and Antony Barrett, won £50, while £70 went to Sharon Wells, the lady who progressed furthest in the competition.
