ANDY Misseldine won the Division 1 title, the Hewitt Cup, for the second time by beating Jingyu Sun in the 2012 Oxfordshire Divisional Championships.

In a titanic battle, Misseldine was forced to pull out all the stops to clinch the crown.

He trailed 1-0 and 2-1 in the final, but recovered to grind out a 3-11, 17-15, 9-11, 13-11, 11-5 victory.

Eamonn Deeley claimed the Nielsen Cup – the Division 2 title – for the fifth time after a thrilling victory over Paul Borrowdale.

Borrowdale kept pegging his rival back, but eventually came up just short as Deeley – who nearly didn’t enter the competition – ran out an 11-5, 7-11, 11-9, 9-11, 11-7 winner.

Mike Harrison was pushed hard by Jonah Stott to win an excellent Division 3 final.

Harrison took the first two games 11-9, and despite Stott winning the third 11-3, Harrison regrouped and won the fourth 14-12 to take the crown. Niall Harris stormed through to win the Division 4 title.

The rapidly-improving youngster beat Teisi Tamming in the semi-finals and then Bob Ford in the final.
