IAN Bowler produced a stunning 16-doll haul – but still ended up losing 3-0, writes ANDY BEAL.

The Littlemore British Legion A man bagged a six in his fine display in Section 3 of the Greene King Oxford & District League.

However, it was to no avail as Six Bells A triumphed with leg scores of 17-15, 19-16, 17-13, despite the efforts of Bowler (5-5-6).

Red Lion A Yarnton made it two wins out of two against Premier opposition when they defeated George A 2-1. 

Kevin Baker clanged off 14 dolls (4-6-4) for Gladiators A, but it could not prevent them from falling to their second consecutive defeat at Swan B 2-1.

In Section 2, the McMahon brothers – Kevin and Jonny – both hit a six in the final leg to give Bullnose A a 2-1 victory over Red Lion A Marston.

With the match all-square, a score of 27 in the decider was enough to secure the win.

Pete Rampton hit 14 dolls for the second consecutive week as Six Bells D Kidlington blew away local rivals Red Lion Kidlington 3-0.
