GOLF: Frilford Heath went clear at the top of Section 1 in the Shaw Gibbs Oxfordshire Foursomes League with a whitewash at defending champions Burford.

The 3-0 result left the hosts’ hopes of claiming a fourth successive crown looking remote.

It was closer than the scoreline suggests, with the first two matches only decided on the 18th green.

Sam Boffin and Rob Langton finished one-up against John Lally and Mark Oliver.

Ashley Walton and Jon Rusk won the final hole of their match with Nick Roebuck and James Pratt to finish two-up.

Lee White and Ollie Huggins had a comfortable 4&3 win over Richard Connor and Simon Hopkins.
