Oracle D came back to beat Littlemore RBL B 4-1 in the semi-finals of the Gentworks Oxford & District Snooker League’s Buildbase Plate.

Littlemore made the most of an early handicap advantage to take the lead.

But the visitors struck back and, after taking the third frame following a re-spotted black, went on to cruise to victory.

Oracle A also booked their place in the final with a comfortable 4-0 win over Oracle E.

After a tense first frame decided on the black, Oracle A breezed to a clean sweep, with Mark Trafford and Neil Buckingham claiming two frames each.
