Jingyu Sun is once again the Oxford Mail Cup men’s champion.
The Vikings player successfuly defended his crown, beating Andy Misseldine (Kidlington Forum) 11-9, 15-13, 11-9.
The championships, held again at the Exeter Close Pavilion, Kidlington, witnessed a rerun of last year’s final – with the same result.
Dawn Pearce (Begbroke) rolled back the years to win the ladies singles (Chandler Cup) once again, and the mixed doubles with Pavel Jaskolski (Vikings).
Pearce won the event in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and saw off Lianne Fisher (Vikings) 14-12 in the deciding game to reclaim the trophy.
With Jaskolski, Pearce beat Fisher and Sun in the final.
In the men’s doubles final (President’s Cup), Mark Scott (Vikings) and Misseldine beat Tony Stead (Rutherford) and Alan Cherry (Vikings).
The veteran’s singles competition again featured Misseldine and Karl Bushell in the final, but this turned out to be Misseldine’s year.
Four close games were shared, before Misseldine took the decider 11-9 to win the title for the first time.
