RICHARD Taylor starred with a maximum as Letcombe A returned to form with an 8-2 victory over RAL B in Division 1 of the Didcot & District League, writes Owen Brazell.

Bottom side Marlborough D’s relegation is all but confirmed after a 10-0 defeat to leaders RAL A.

Charlie Lane’s treble proved the difference as Moreton A beat struggling Upton 7-3.

Marlborough B climbed up to second after James Lovelock’s maximum helped them beat their A side 7-3.
