North Oxford recorded their first win of the season in Wilson OLTA League Ladies Division 1 of the 3-Pair League with a 6-3 success over Cholsey.

Their second pair of Louise Purton and Kate Calnan who should have been their No 1 couple easily claimed all three rubbers to lead their side home.

Heather Harrison and Carmella Liverton won twice for Cholsey, but it proved in vain.

North Oxford's bottom pair of Maddy Mitchell and Judy Davis also won twice.

Abingdon were forced to battle in their 5.5-3.5 win over Woodstock in Division 2.

Having been relegated from the top flight last year without winning a game, Abingdon are hoping to bounce back at the first attempt.

First pair of Alison Haynes and Helen Crofts were the heroins for Abingdon, winning all three rubbers.

However, they had to fight back from a set down in the final rubber of the afternoon against Woodstock's top pair of Mary Smith and Pam Selby to claim the all-important victory.

In Men's Division 1, Oxford City proved a class above Goring, cruising to an 8-1 win over Goring.

Eamonn Deeley and Mike Millar were unbeaten at first pair, with Anthony Di Pinto and Shozeb Haider also achieving a clean sweep at No 2.

Witney B saw off North Oxford D 6.5-2.5, while Witney C went one better in Division 3, seeing off North Oxford F 7.5-1.5.
