Kidlington Forum's Karl Bushell fought back in style to lift the Oxford & District Association's men's single title for a record 12th time after a hard-fought 3-2 victory against Harry Yeates.

It is the fourth successive year that Bushell has won the Oxford Mail Cup.

He also landed the veteran's singles crown, after beating John Barclay, and the Warner Cup for having the most wins in Division 1.

In their singles clash, Yeates threw everything at Bushell in the first two games, winning them both 11-8 with some amazingly aggressive play.

However, Bushell fought back well to take control, winning the next three 11-3, 11-4, 11-7.

Earlier, Roel Dullens was close to an upset against Yeates in their semi-final match.

Dullens took a shock 2-1 advantage, only to see Yeates hold his nerve to win the last two 11-4, 11-4 to go through.

Janet Brown won the ladies singles title to collect the Chandler Cup for the seventh time, beating Laurel Christer in the final.

Glen Freeman and Paul Borrowdale picked up the President's Cup by beating Andrew Flint and Bill Mason in the men's doubles.

Janet Brown and Bill Mason won the mixed doubles, beating Anne Borrowdale and Roel Dullens 3-1 in a keenly-contested final.
