Forum F posted a memorable victory over league champions Forum A in the Oxford & District Handicap Shield semi-finals.

With Aubrey Hughes providing the experience, and youngsters George May and Ross Henderson the all-out attack, the F side who had a 260-point start just held off their illustrious clubmates to win 433-420.

Karl Bushell put up stiff resistance, but Forum F kept their nerve.

In the final, Forum F will face Vikings E after they stormed to a 433-361 win over Bicester B.

Wendy Chapple, Nick Lacey and Steve Laird battled well for Bicester, who conceded a 95-point start.

But it soon became clear that the Vikings side were not going to be denied.

Graham Mifflin and Peter Sinclair ploughed into their opponents, winning a good share of the sets, even though they play in a lower division.

John Tremayne was well-beaten by Lacey, but he bounced back to give Chapple and Laird very close games.

Vikings E will receive ten points start against Forum F in the final at the Gladiators Club on Tuesday (7.15pm).

Semi-finals: Forum F (+260) 433, Forum A 420; Bicester B 361, Vikings E (+95) 433.
