Begbroke A are favourites to take the other promotion spot, despite a 6-4 loss at Bicester. At the other end of the table, Haddenham A gave themselves some hope of avoiding relegation by beating Begbroke B 7-3.

Witney A won Division 3 after defeating Gladiators C 8-2, with Brian Jermyn leading the way with a maximum. Forum E are also promoted.

Forum J are clear champions of Division 4 after beating Nielsens 7-3 and Forum H 8-2. St James are runners-up.
