The Oxfordshire made it three wins from three in Section 1 of the Shaw Gibbs Oxfordshire Foursomes League after defeating Burford 2-1.

Victories from Andy Stubbs and Ben Cotton, plus Nigel Lucas and Matt Foster secured the points, which maintained their 100 per cent record.

Oxford City, however, suffered their third straight loss after returning to the top flight with a 21/2-1/2 home defeat to Tadmarton Heath.

But it could have been a far different scoreline as matches two and three went down to the final hole.

At the other end of the scale, Witney Lakes have lost both their matches in Section 4.
