Reigning champions Oxford City got back on track with a 2-1 victory away to previously unbeaten Studley Wood in Section 1 of the Shaw & Co Oxfordshire Foursomes League.

City, who lost their opening match at Buckingham, secured their success thanks to a narrow one-hole victory by John Summers and Ian Bound over Austin Siggers and Brian Foster in the top match.

Clive Bowler and Will Peddie had a comfortable success in the bottom match to seal the result, while Studley had to be content with a convincing 5 & 4 success for Neil Pettit and Joe Fathers.

Buckingham continued their brilliant start to the season with a 3-0 whitewash at home to Frilford Heath, although two of the wins were by just one hole.

Hadden Hill lost their 100 per cent record in Section 2 when losing 2.5-0.5 away to Rye Hill.
