Headington A made it two wins out of two in Division 1 of the Oxfordshire League, sponsored by Bridle Insurance, with a 5-1 home victory over promoted Bicester.

Mark Charlett led the way for the reigning champions with a massive 37-5 win in the 115-53 scoreline.

Carterton’s Paul Sharman went one better than Charlett by skipping his rink to a 33-shot victory in the 5-1 home win over Banbury Central A.
