Woodstock Ladies A are relegated to Division 2 of the Wilson Inter-Club League 3-Pair League after a narrow 5-4 defeat at the hands of Abingdon.
The relegation could now pave the way for their B team to replace them in the top flight.
Lucy Collinson and Lucy Morgan won all three rubbers for Abingdon as the team secured the necessary two matches in the final round to ensure victory.
And with Woodstock B taking on Oxford Sports B a week on Saturday with the winner certain of promotion to Division 1, there could be the rare sight of a B team in a higher division than the A.

Woodstock B must now win the match to go up after they went down 5-4 at Banbury.
Elsewhere, Bicester made certain they were safe in Division 1 with a 5-4 win over Cholsey.
In Men's Division 3, Witney B walloped Woodstock B 7.5-1.5, with Andy Dennis and Peter Kemp, as well as Derek Brown and Steve Wiblin winning all their matches.
As a result, Woodstock are relegated.
