Paul Barrow landed the North Oxford Club Championship for the first time following a two-shot victory over Ben Millar.

Barrow who joined the club as a junior and now plays of a handicap of one, owed his title to a superb two-under-par second round of 66, which gave him a two-round total of 137.

That put him clear of Millar, who had rounds of 67 and 72. The pair finished well clear of the field.

Millar's consolation was in winning the President's Putter for the lowest nett score of 131, off his four handicap.

THERE have been three holes-in-one for local golfers in the past week.

Playing in the roll-up at North Oxford, Mike Fry aced the 221-yard par-three tenth hole from the white tee with a three-wood.

It was his second hole-in-one.

During Oxford City's captain's day, Judy McCairns had a hole-in-one at the eighth hole on the way to winning the Silver Division stableford with 37 points.

It was a memorable time for junior Elliott Bennett at the Waterstock's captain's day.

Having started his round on the 17th tee, he holed in at one at the 175-yard 16th his last shot of the day.

The youngster was playing with next year's captain Alan Hughes and seniors captain Harry Dudley.
