Alan Surman starred with a six in his 15-doll haul as Six Bells C won 2-1 at Kidlington rivals Red Lion B in Greene King Oxford & District League Premier & Section 1, writes ANDY BEAL.

Six Bells came from behind after losing the first leg 35-25 to take the next two 29-19 and 27-23, with Steve Ward (5-4-5) giving Surman good support.

Three Pigeons lost their first game of the season with a 2-1 defeat at home to Premier Section title-holders Cricketers B.

Phil Wilkins (4-6-5) led the way for Cricketers with 15 dolls as teammates Ivor Clarke and John Townsend hit 13 apiece.

Trevor Greenaway also hit a baker’s dozen for Garsington Sports Club A in their 2-1 home win over New Club A.

In Section 2, Vikings Sports’ Allan Davies hit a six in the opening leg and then five in the next to help set up a 3-0 win at Six Bells Quarry.

But he fell away badly in the final leg with one to finish with a dozen.

Red Lion B Eynsham went top after a 3-0 victory at Woodman Inn.

Simon King (6-3-4) starred with 13 dolls (6-3-4) in a 28-18, 21-20, 23-19 scoreline.

It was unlucky 13 for Chris Webb (4-6-3) as his haul failed to prevent Cowley Workers going down 2-1 at Chequers A.

Clive Tutton (4-6-4) starred with 14 dolls for King & Queen A in their 2-1 home win over Seacourt Bridge in Section 4.

King & Queen won the first two legs and were looking good for a full house with Tiddington anchor man Danny Brown needing five to win, but he went one better by whipping off all six to grab a point.

West Oxford Democrats won 2-1 at Tiddington Cricket Club.

Needing four to beat Democrats’ set of 19 in the first leg, Tiddington anchor man Dick Brownshill proved up to the task.

It was then Democrats anchor man Dan Thompson’s turn to take centre stage, knocking off the three needed to overhaul Tiddington’s 13 in the next, before the visitors won the decider 20-17.

Joe Bandrowski (4-4-5) led the way as Masons Arms B won 2-1 at home to Red Lion Wolvercote in Section 6.

Daz Browning ended a 20-year wait for a maximum in Red Lion A Yarnton’s 2-1 home win over Nut Tee in Section 7.

It must have taken a lot out of him as he followed it up with a blob in the next leg.

Despite playing on crutches, Michael Vickers top-scored for White Hart with eight dolls, but it could not prevent them going down 3-0 at home to Chequers D in Section 9.
