BADMINTON: Headington bag two more titles
12:46pm Thursday 17th April 2008
Headington have picked up two more overall titles in the Oxford and District league bringing their club tally to six out of a possible 12.
The latest successes came from their B teams in Division 3 of both the men's and the women's doubles - the women finishing ten points clear of runners-up Leys B.
The only two undecided issues are in Men's Division 5 where Bicester and Headington C are still in the hunt and Women's Division 2 where either Evenlode or Windrush B should gain promotion.
- The second of two singles Sundays was held at Bartholomew School, Eynsham, with a league in the pipeline.
A further ten successive Sundays are planned, beginning this weekend.
Competitive matches will be involved as well as some coaching.
Contact Farid Jafari on 07921 840168.
- Next Thursday, the under-17 Bartholomew School's girls team from Eynsham will take part in the national schools' finals at Derby.
- The annual meeting of the Oxford and District League is at the Manor Prep School, Shippon, near Abingdon on May 13.
The league's presentation evening will be on May 16 at the same venue.

Imagine This: New London Theatre
I had trouble shifting my +1 for the musical Imagine This, which opened last week at the New London Theatre. No-one was interested (one German friend would have come, but funnily enough I hadn’t thought to ask him), and while nobody actually said, “Sounds like a gas”, there were plenty of unprintable responses, averaging out at: “Holocaust – the musical? Um, no thanks . . . ”
