Nigel Bossom won the Arthur Cook Billiards Cup for the fourth successive year with victory over Pom Merola.

The Thame player (+30) edged into a 100-85 lead over Merola (+10), from Oracle.

But then a number of decent breaks saw him cruise to a 200-107 victory.

It is the first time any player has completed four straight wins.

Bossom had beaten Roger Coenen (+70) of Morris Motors 200-113 in the semi-final, with Merola (+10) seeing off New Club's Alan King (+40) 200-139.

Meanwhile, Cowley Conservative Club A reached the final of the Atox Cup with a 4-3 win over Ashton.

They will meet Fieldside, who thrashed Riley 6-0.

The semi-finals of the Turner Cup take place on Thursday at Eynsham.
