Chipping Norton maintained their 100 per cent record in Section 2 of the Shaw Gibbs Oxfordshire Foursomes League by edging out North Oxford.

The leaders won 2½-½, but were down in one and level in two matches at the turn.

However, Danny Hicks and Matt Johnson hit back to record a 2 & 1 victory over Dave Titcombe and Paul Jones.

Tim Reynolds and Andy Johnson hit back from two down to halve with Paul Barrow and Nathan Jones and move Chippy closer to victory.

And then the third match out saw Shaun Kench and Chris Denton get the better of Martyn Booth and Jack Gale by one-up to claim victory.
