Banbury Central A followed up their opening win in the Oxford & District League, sponsored by Yarnton Nurseries, with a 90-shot whitewash of a weakened Shiplake team in Division 1 at Horton View.

Central romped home 128-38 for a 6-0 success, which suggests they will be the team to beat yet again.

There were also wins in the top flight for Headington A and Oxford City & County A.

Oxon Under 25s star Shane Cooper led the way with a 15-shot win in Cotswold’s 6-0 demolition of Blackbird Leys in Division 2.

South Oxford maintained their great start by collecting all the points at home to Woodstock, with skip John Hall and his four enjoying an 18-shot victory.

Banbury Chestnuts kept up the pressure with a 5-1 win over struggling Thame.

Andrew Auger’s efforts on the last end won the day over Bloxham in a closely-fought game which saw Witney Mills secure a second 5-1 win in Division 3.

Good wins for Kidlington, Charlbury and Watlington completed the other Division 3 fixtures.

The biggest victory in Division 4 was West Oxford’s 6-0 trouncing of Oxford University Press.

High-scoring Headington B secured a 4-2 win over Hanborough with comprehensive victories for Colin Harris and Terry Murphy.

In the other basement clash, Stan Green secured an admirable point for Florence Park to prevent Chadlington taking a maximum win from the game on the West Oxfordshire green.
