Frilford Heath's Craik and home player Wilkins, champions in 2003, won on countback with just one stroke separating the top six pairs.
John Sutherland (Stockwood Vale) and Alison Henshaw (Cirencester) finished second, with Daryl Scott (Henley) and Jon Carter (Reading) third, all three team amassing 146.

The 15-year-old pupil from Henry Box School, Witney has now been selected to represent Oxfordshire in the South of England Schools championship at Lingfield Park on May 28.
Victory maintained Stubbs's fine form, with the five-handicapper and member at The Oxfordshire, having previously won the handicap trophy in the BB&O Junior Championship at Woburn.
- Oxfordshire Ladies 2nd defeated Hertfordshire 6-3 at Moor Park to complete a 100 per cent record, having already beaten Berks, Bucks and Hants.

Dylan Moran: New Theatre, Oxford
‘I was the first person to discover that if you infected a person with Marmite, he would stand up and bark at the moon.” “Everybody under the age of 35 has the intelligence of raspberry jam.” “Children can hear vegetables hiding.”
Sleeping Beauty, Chipping Norton Theatre
There’s nothing King Couer-de-Loup likes more than a good battle: “We’ll march on King Florizel’s wet and wicked army,” he proclaims. His Queen is not so sure, however. She would rather her husband stayed around: there’s the christening of their daughter Princess Aurora to arrange for a start. And he certainly can’t go out and fight looking like that: “Your chain mail’s got a ladder in it,” she wails.
