Excellent displays from several of Frilford Heath's promising juniors were the highlight of the club's convincing victory over Oxford University.
Playing on their own Red Course, Frilford won the annual contest 13 -4 , despite being without two of their leading players, Jon Cronly and Barry Mann.
However, youngsters Martin Woodbridge and Shaun Elliott teamed up to romp home 5 & 4 in the morning foursomes, at the end of which the hosts held a commanding 5 - lead.
Woodbridge won his afternoon singles, while another junior, Sam Bourgein, also recorded his second victory of the day as Frilford stretched their advantage.
Rugby Blue Peter Raftery was a member of the Varsity side, losing his foursomes, but halving his singles match.
