Corner House A took full advantage of leaders Nelson's free week by recording a 5-1 victory at home to Dolphin A in Group A of the Oxford & District Summer League.

Ian Moss (3,850) put them in front, only for Jimmy Robson (8,150) to pull Dolphin level.

Peter Farrelly (7,390 & 10,270), Bob Allsworth (6,130) and Moss again (8,120) secured victory to reduce the gap at the top to one point.

Didcot Conservative Club won 4-2 at home to Masons.

Sue Atkins (7,590, break 7,450) got Didcot off to a good start.

Jenny Abbott (5,690 & 5,340) and a sparkling 14,580 (breaks 6,400 & 8,180) from Dave Tooke saw them home.

Group B leaders Democrafts made it four wins in a row with a 5-1 home victory over Nelson B.

Bletchingdon opened up a five-point lead in Group C after beating Headington Conservative B 6-0.

United go down to narrow defeat

Altrincham 1 (Little 64), Oxford Utd 0 OXFORD United paid for not turning dominance into goals as they fell to a sucker punch at Moss Lane on Sunday.

Kiss Bar is next to Lava & Ignite on Park End Street, and I’m guessing that not everyone will have set foot there before. This is more because it’s so tiny rather than being any reflection of how good it is.

Status Quo (supported by Luke White) @ the New Theatre

Swaying back and forth in unison to the riffs bouncing off their guitars, you know what to expect with Status Quo. Even if they have become a bit overused in the past 40 years, cliches have a golden core. For many bands, repeatedly playing their successful songs becomes a kind of purgatory ending in a refusal to even listen to their hit singles any more, let alone play them. But this five-piece never seem to tire of their best tracks, and their infectiously energetic live performance got their loyal middle-aged fans shaking the body parts they forgot they had.
