KIDLINGTON Green Social Club A maintained their Section 2 title challenge with a 7-2 win over visitors Six Bells in the Greene King ODDA Winter League.

Ade Cox hit a maximum for the away side to cancel out Mick Richardson’s opener, but from then on the Green men took charge.

Pete Smith, Steve Baker, Rob Smith, and Peter Gough all tasted success and a 2-1 win in the pairs completed the rout.

George Bar A stayed in touch with the leading pack thanks to a 6-3 home win against Vikings Social Club.

The visitors twice levelled, Chris Pollard and Kevin Masterson replying to Barry Wells and Andy Buckingham.

But John Cole (180) and Mark Laverack saw the hosts break clear and a 2-1 pairs victory sealed the result.

Blackbird Bar edged to a narrow 5-4 win at Ladies’ Section 1 side Blackbird Leys Bowls Club.

The hosts led through Lorraine Singleton and Emily Baldwin, but the visitors fought back to lead 4-2.

Shaz Thompson, Jayne Godfrey, Sue Smith and Chris Thompson provided their victories.

And despite losing the pairs 2-1, Premier Section outfit Blackbird Bar clinched the closely-fought victory.
