We did Ian...it says the 1960's but I didn't start playing until 1974! The trophies that day were presented by Roy Burton the great ex Oxford United goalkeeper who made 447 appearances between 1971-1982.  |

As requested from the Oxford Mail sports editor any additional material for our weekly OBBA column must be sent to me the press officer first.I will then send one package for the editor to deal with.
Many Thanks
Pete

I thought the report that was in there yesterday was the best one yet ;), what a shame it wasn't done by the "Press Officer ;D" in the first place!! Keith ??? |

Thanks Keith - and good luck to Pauline at Withey Palace...... Ha, Ha, You mean my One bedroom council flat that the council don't seem to want to give me a date that they are going to refurbish my 60's kitchen. I am therefore emptying it ready for Monday just in case they turn up anyway without telling me they are coming. They are also doing part of my bathroom as well. Good job I have retired from work. Mind you I have a lovely view of Oxford from my 6th floor flat. I will check through my bar billiard files to see if this newspaper cutting is in there as soon as I can. xx |

Hi Oxon friends and colleagues,
It's good to have pieces of history substantiated, and I have searched my own archives from the same era and turned up this report from 1982 or the ladies event :
Best regards,
tommo

Well found Clive but something is not quite right because in 1981 Kent won the ladies that year, Berkshire ladies didn't win their first title until 1990! Hi Keith, I quoted verbatim a rather dog-eared clipping from our Horsham website. I have long suspected that mistakes used to creep in to the newspaper writeups of that era. At the time we were just grateful for any snippets from National tournaments which seemed to be another world entirely and I wouldn't have known any better as regards challenging the info. All I've tried to achieve here is to put some Oxford names to the faces for you. Regards, tommo |

I remember playing Ron Stimpson who remained unbeaten to the last game of the season when he was drawn out first with the break against me.
Ron full of nerves came off early and I got the break straight back and recorded a winning break.Half of bitter please Ron..he was not amused.

Am I right in thinking that Tony Sculley was in the series of "Indoor League" hosted by Fred Trueman in the early 70's and didn't he make the Semi Finals or am I thinking of Alan Sales who I think was also in it at some time ?

I think Pete Wells was involved and yes Tony was in the series with Fred.Remember he beat me in the Mens final and the winner went forward to the Indoor League.Could have been me  |
