Kidlinton Green SC B were given a mighty test before beating Peachroft SC 5-4 in Men’s Premier & Section 1 of the Greene King ODDA Winter League.

Lying second in the Premier Section, Kidlington took the first leg through Sean Holly.

But the Section 1 visitors fought back to lead 2-1 thanks to Simon Smith and Dan Smith.

The home side took a 3-2 lead with wins from Andy Bowman (180) and Mark Burns, but Peachroft’s Steve Fisher beat Neil Russel to make it 3-3.

A narrow pairs win saw Kidlington home.

Wins from Rob Smith and Pete Smith gave Section 1 side Kidlington Green Social Club A a 2-0 lead at Premier outfit Cowley Workers Club.

Workers hit back to lead 3-2 after wins from Lyndon Richards, Pete Hall and Jon Jukes (2x180).

The visitors levelled at 3-3 when Steve Baker beat Aaran Stevens, but a 2-1 pairs win saw Cowley Workers home 5-4.

In Section 2, Donnington Community Centre lost their first six games.

But they have turned things around and a 5-4 win at Democrats Club was their fourth consecutive victory.

Singles successes from Garth Crozier, Darren Allen, Alan Malyinko and Jason Buck put Donnington in charge and they hung on, despite a 2-1 loss in the pairs.

George Bar A beat Vikings Social Club 6-3 after John Cole, Darren Hughes and Jimmy Oram had given them a 3-0 lead.

Florence Park CC A, the unbeaten Ladies Premier Section leaders, lost the first leg at home to Crown Inn when Sam Moore beat Jo Gleed.

But that proved to be the visitors only success as the home side powered to an 8-1 success.
