Veteran Don Lord came in as a substitute to replace Chris Earl at lead and steered Rover A to the annual Jack Stow Open Triples title at Headington.
Rover A's Lord, Alan Peters and Paul Comley romped to 21-5 win over Don Cricks's Rover B team of Clive Hawtin and Donny Rowan, giving the Rover club their first Jack Stow title.
Their semi-final was nip and tuck, winning on the extra end over the experienced triple from South Oxford A of Gordon Turland, Mike Keen and Neil Woodward.
The John Mason Shield was won by the City & County team of Vic Bye, Mike Petersen and Len Lacey with a 23-6 victory over South Oxford B's Brian Horseman, Mike Wichall and Graham Joiner.
The event was sponsored by Wheatley Farm Shop.
