New Club A are the Greene King Oxford & District League Section 1 champions following a 3-0 win over Headington British Legion, writes ANDY BEAL.

Austin Atkinson (5-3-4) led the way with a dozen dolls in a 26-21, 16-12, 28-21 scoreline.

Black Swan claimed the runners-up spot with an impressive 3-0 win at home to Six Bells Kidlington.

It was a tight finish in Section 3 as Three Horseshoes snatched the title from Team Monarch by one point with both sides recording 2-1 wins over Viking Sports A and Cowley Workers respectively.

Philip Simpson was Donnington Club A’s hero as they were crowned Section 5 champions in dramatic fashion.

With opponents Queens Head B, who needed all three points to tie at the top, having taken the first two legs 16-13, 19-15 and then setting 15 in the last, all looked lost for Donnington, until anchor man Simpson clanged off the four dolls needed to take the leg and the title in a 2-1 defeat.

Folly Bridge needed maximum points to pip Donnington, but crashed 3-0 at home to Six Bells A.

Five teams were still in with a chance of the Section 7 title, but it was Chequers B who prevailed with a 3-0 win at the Red Lion Wendlebury.

Kidlington Sports B blew their chance in the opening leg against Brill Club B when they could only hit nine chasing 14.

They rallied round well in the next two legs 20-13, 18-12 for a 2-1 win, but it wasn’t enough as they fell one point short.

Nick Edmonds (2-6-3) top- scored for Kidlington with 11 dolls.

Florence Park Club triumphed 3-0 over Priory A in their Section 9 title decider.

Tony Bull top scored (5-2-4) with 11 dolls.
