Oxford & District's father and son bowlers Chris and Glenn Allen are on collision course to meet in the area final of the English Indoor Bowling Association singles.
Both Allens came through their quarter-finals comfortably against opponents from the Foxhill club, Aylesbury.
Dad Chris now faces Chipping Norton's Andy Martin in his semi-final, while son Glenn takes on Brian Garforth, from the Slade club in Buckingham.
The Allens, who have already claimed the Father & Son pairs crown, are also through to the semi-finals of the pairs and fours.
In the pairs, they saw off Carterton's Stuart Richens and Andy Wise 20-11 and now face Darren Sharpe and Calvin Carpenter (Banbury).
In the fours, the Allens, Nick Welsh and Howard Watts take on Foxhill, skipped by Matthew Hyde, in the semi-finals after defeating Banbury in the last eight.
Four area titles were decided last week, and Oxon clubs lost in three of them.
Howard Watts and Kathy Hawes (Oxford & District) went down in the mixed pairs to Foxhill, who also lifted the mixed fours with a 23-16 victory over a Banbury quartet skipped by Calvin Carpenter.
Oxford's Brian Slatter and Mike Petersen were pipped 18-17 by Handy Cross (High Wycombe) in the Over 60 pairs.
However, there was success for Carterton's Andy Wise, Peter Latter and Sammy Timms in the Over 50 triples final with a 20-17 victory over Foxhill.
