Forum A reclaimed the top spot in Division 1 of the Oxford & District League with an 8-2 victory against previously-unbeaten Rutherford.

Rutherford went ahead with Chris Rowlatt's win against Fraser Harris, before Forum fought back with maximums from Greg Boone and Karl Bushell to seal victory.

Rutherford's doubles pairing of Glen Freeman and Neil Hurford tried to salvage a point, but narrowly lost out to Bushell and Boone.

THE Association are mourning the loss of vice-president Bill Crowther.

As well as making a valuable contribution, he was an active player for more than 50 years.
