RUNAWAY ODDA Section 6 leaders Nuffield Arms, kept up their good form when they beat Vikings SC 8-1.

The Nuffield took an early lead when Turner beat Brown, but Vikings levelled when Dave Faulkner beat Carr. But that proved their only success as Nuffield hit back with wins from Newbold, Stimpson, Barry Wells and Pete Dodson to lead 5-1. A 3-0 pairs win sealed the verdict.
