Oxford Ladies gained some consolation in the second round of the Inter-area round robin competition by winning 4-1 at home after crashing 5-0 in their first leg at Witney.

Sue Leach (5,350) and Jenny Abbott (8,740) put Oxford 2-0 up, with Witney's Jenny Parsons making it 2-1 thanks to a 2,700-1,280 win over Lisa Rose.

Pauline Withey increased Oxford's lead to 3-1 with a 7,830-3,530 victory over Debbie Surman, and Sandra Tebby put the icing on the cake by potting the last ball into the 100 pocket for a 3,720-3,710 victory.

Oxford now face Northants in the third round.
