The future of Oxfordshire table tennis is looking good, if the county junior closed tournament at Didcot is anything to go by.

The standard of play was encouraging in all three age groups, highlighted by a memorable match between Oxford's Greg Boone and Sam Harrison in the final of the cadet boys' event.

Both played an open, attacking game containing long, spectacular rallies, with Boone just edging home 24-22 in the final set.
