BURFORD secured the Sect-ion 1 title in the Shaw Gibbs Oxfordshire Foursomes Lea-gue to complete a weekend of woe for Frilford Heath.

A 3-0 home victory over Tadmarton Heath was more than enough to secure top spot.

This meant Frilford finished in second place, having lost their grip on the Knockout Trophy the previous day with a 2-1 defeat to Tadmarton in the final at Mentmore.

All the matches between Burford and Tadmarton were tight affairs with fortune fluctuating both ways.

But victories for Ian Liddle and Mark Oliver, Dean Yates and Simon Hopkins, plus David Summers and John Wilks sealed maximum points.

Tadmarton had lost 3-0 to Frilford in their final league game the week before, but held their nerve to win at Mentmore.

Victories for Tadmarton’s Owen King and Liam Robinson, and Frilford’s Nev Davies and Sean Elliott mean the final came down to match three.

Here, Spencer Hallam and Mark Walton pipped Frilford’s Paul Richardson and Dean Newbold by one hole.
