Littlemore Royal British Legion C fought back from 2-1 down to beat Riley A 4-2 and book their place in the final of the Buildbase Oxford & District League's Simonds Cup.

They will now take on Fieldside A, who defeated Green Road by the same score.

Things looked bleak for Littlemore when victories for Chris Stone, over Adam Brown and Andy MacBryan, against Jason Buck, put Riley 2-1 ahead.

Matthew Challen had taken the opening match for Littlemore, and his second victory of the night set the tone for his side’s comeback.

Challen fired in a break of 73 to demolish a shell-shocked James Stone 113-0 in a little over five minutes.

Brown then saw off Chris Stone 75-41 to edge Littlemore ahead, and their victory was confirmed when Buck pipped MacBryan 44-41 in the final frame.

In the other match, Andy Benwell’s two victories for Green Road proved in vain as Jimmy Ewers and Mick Bennett also won a brace apiece as Fieldside went through.

Meanwhile, Cowley Workers A will meet Headington RBL in the final of the Sherlock Cup.

Workers beat Cowley Conservative Club B 4-2, with Headington defeating Yarnton RBL 4-1.
