Kidlington Forum B gained revenge over Vikings A to go top in Division 1 of the Oxford & District League, writes BRIAN HAMILTON.

Forum had been beaten 8-2 by Vikings earlier in the season, but this time they came out on top by the same score.

The Flint twins, Andrew and Jeremy both recorded maximums, although Jeremy was taken to the fifth game in his encounters with Tommy Filmer and Julian Lawton Smith.

Forum A keep up their title challenge with an 8-2 win over Morris Motors A at Crescent Road.

Karl Bushell and Greg Boone were both unbeaten on the night for Forum.

Crown House posted a brace of 7-3 wins over Morris Motors, with Mark Newnes returning maximums in both fixtures.

However, both Newnes and Eddie Herrity were missing for the clash with RAL and Crown House went down 8-2.

George Pullin won his three singles and also combined with Neil Hurford to take the doubles and remove Crown's relegation worries.

In Division 2, Begbroke keep their hopes alive with a hat-trick of wins.

Janet Brown won eight of her nine singles as Begbroke beat Vikings C 10-0, Forum C 6-4 and Morris Motors C 6-4. New signing Dawn Pearce won five singles.
