Forum A's Karl Bushell lifted the Warner Cup awarded for the most wins in Oxford & District League Division 1 for a remarkable 17th time.

Bushell reeled off another maximum to help champions Forum finish the season in style with a 9-1 victory over Vikings A.

Ellis Bicknell also posted a treble for Forum, while James Lovelock provided Vikings' only success with victory over Greg Boone.

Bushell had also shone in a substitute role for Forum B with a maximum in a 6-4 win over Vikings A in their elegation battle.

Vikings were riding high in the division till they lost Peter Dasher to injury late in January.

St James A claimed the runners-up spot after Vikings B conceded.

In Division 2, Begbroke A missed out on the runners-up spot to Gladiators.

Begbroke's problems began when they were held to a 5-5 draw by relegated Morris Motors C.

Paul Reynolds was firing on all cylinders for Motors, beating Janet Brown on his way to a maximum.

Begbroke made amends by beating their B side 9-1, but rivals Gladiators also beat Begbroke B 9-1 to finish second.

Haddenham B held their nerve to finish runners-up in Division 4.

Vikings E raced into a 4-0 lead, before Haddenham recovered for a 5-5 draw.

This meant that Morris Motors E could just catch Haddenham if they had a big win over Holton.

But a maximum for Brian Dobson allowed Holton to draw 5-5.
