Banbury Borough's Mark Sykes eased to a 21-14 win over Watlington's Sam Watts to be crowned Oxfordshire singles champion on finals day at Carterton.

Sykes quickly established a commanding lead, and although Watts kept battling he was unable to bridge the gap.

Earlier in the day, Watts had retained his under 25s title with a dramatic 21-19 win over Headington's Dean May.

Sykes, meanwhile, had suffered defeat in the fours final with Borough clubmates Keith Holloway, Richard Redford, substituting for Jamie Wilkinson, and George Schwab.

They went down 23-16 to Carterton's Tim Jupp, Andy Martin, Stuart Richens and Paul Sharman.

Richens went on to complete a double with a 17-5 victory over Headington's Howard Watts in the two-wood singles.

Watts chalked up a brace of titles of his own, though.

Firstly, he took the pairs with Jon Philpott, and then they teamed up with Nathan Lewis to win the triples.
