BILLIARDS: Thame and Ashton booked their places in the Atox Cup final after two thrilling semi-final victories.

Both sides drew 3-3 after six games in their last four matches against Fieldside and Littlemore RBL respectively.

But a higher points aggregate on the night gave them both an extra point, which was enough to reach the final.

Phil Baker, Tom Fletcher and Derek Syrett triumphed for Thame – the latter’s 75-5 victory the telling result.

For Ashton, Rory MacIver, twice, and Paul Watts were victorious.

SNOOKER: Highfield B claimed bragging rights after a 4-2 victory over their A side in their Premier/Division 1 encounter.

Andy Benwell and Jay Roberts each won twice for the B side, Steve Blackman picking up both points for the losers.

Oracle C and New Club B fought out an exciting 3-3 draw in Division 2.

Mark Trafford won twice for Oracle, Nigel Bossom doing likewise for New Club.

But with Sid Pointing and Ian Bett sharing their match, honours were even.
