Frilford Heath and The Oxfordshire both retained their unbeaten records in the Shaw & Co Oxfordshire Foursomes League with away wins and are now tied at the top of Section 1.

Three one-sided ties were the feature of holders Frilford's 2-1 win at Hadden Hill, with all finishing in 5 & 4 results.

Paul Chana and Rob Hare did the business for the home side, with Ashley Walton and Sam Bourgein plus Alex Gavrilovic and Tom Fleming replying for Frilford.

The Oxfordshire won the tightest of contests at Studley Wood, where the 2 & 1 victory for the visitors' duo of Paul Spence and Richard Graham provided biggest successful margin.

The other Section 1 clash also produced an away win, as Burford triumphed at Ellesborough.

Oxford City's hopes of returning straight back to the top flight suffered a slight blow when they could only halve their Section 2 match at Bicester.
