Former England international star Julie Bradbury returned to the Oxfordshire side to inspire them to a handsome 12-3 win at home to Sussex 2nd in Division 1C of the Inter-County Champion- ships.

Oxon have struggled since Bradbury quit the county scene at the end of last season.

But former Olympian Bradbury was in sparkling form as Sussex were crushed at Radley College.

On adjacent courts, Oxon 3rd lost 11-4 to Staffordshire 3rd in their last game of the season in Division 4C.

Oxfordshire 2nd won 8-7 away to Jersey.

Andrew Woodmore and Judith Baker were unbeaten but their Evenlode B side went down 5-4 to Harwell in Mixed Division 4 of the Oxford & District League.

Berinsfield stayed top of Division 2 of the Wallingford & District League, despite slipping to defeat against title rivals Wallingford.

An injury to Simon Luker forced Berinsfield to concede two rubbers, Wallingford's Adrian Cassidy and Christine West winning the ninth rubber for a 5-4 victory.

The result moves them to within two points of Berinsfield, and level on points with Abingdon B, who beat Magdalen Eynsham 6-3.
