OXFORDSHIRE'S 14 & under County Cup team has secured promotion for the second year in a row.

Benedict Calnan, Harry Brown, Michael Watkins and Niklas Schmauch made up the triumphant team, winning all three matches in this year's competition.

Oxon beat Sussex, Northants and Devon - with the crucial success coming over Sussex on the first day.

Schmauch and Watkins lost their singles matches against older opponents, but wins for Brown and Calnan left the score tied at 2-2.

The latter duo then won their doubles, but the close score meant that Oxon had to win the deciding rubber, and Schmauch and Watkins came from behind to win 4-6, 7-5, 7-6.

Oxon rounded off with 6-0 whitewashes over Northants and Devon to book their place in Division 3.
