HEADINGTON A recorded the biggest winning margin in the Oxfordshire League, sponsored by Bridle Insurance, for some seasons – a massive 68 shots as they whitewashed Oxford City & County A 6-0.

The 111-43 away victory saw the reigning champions reopen a six-point lead at the top of Division 1, with Banbury Central A having a week off.

There were big wins for the rinks of Howard Watts and Ray Gaskins, with Mark Charlett and Jason King providing good back-up.

Carterton won 6-0 at local rivals West Witney.

In control throughout on three rinks, Gordon Walker declined his last wood on the fourth to ensure his four also won – by two shots.

Watlington went top of Division 2 following a 4-2 win at Adderbury.

Gordon Hooker’s rink’s 30-14 victory proved pivotal.

In Division 3, Banbury Chestnuts won 4-2 at home to leaders Witney Town.
