The Oxfordshire overturned the formbook in sensational style to beat leaders Frilford Heath 3-0 and open up the Section 1 title race in the Shaw & Co Oxfordshire Foursomes League.

Struggling near the bottom of the table, The Oxfordshire found their form on home territory with a notable whitewash although all three ties were close.

Giles Roper and Richard Graham beat the formidable partnership of Dave King and Dusan Gavrilovic 2 & 1, while there were single-hole victories for Paul Spence and Gary Robertson, and Nigel Lucas and Richard Moan.

The result means that Frilford still lead Hadden Hill by two points but both have now played the same number of matches.

In the other Section 1 match, Studley Wood moved up to fourth with a 3-0 win at home to Ellesborough.

Drayton Park sent Section 3 leaders Hazlemere to their second successive defeat with a 2-1 home success.
