TENNIS: City back with style
4:21pm Thursday 17th April 2008
Oxford City's ladies returned to the Crossflight Oxfordshire National Club League with a bang - beating North Oxford 3-0.
After several years away from the competition, City's decision to re-enter proved a good one, with Rutvica Andkijasevic and Julie Wakeford starring in their victory.
Maria Lawton and Fiona Pidgeon edged home 6-4, 7-5 against Nicki Marsh and Jenny Corfield to give Thame a 2-1 win over Woodstock.
In the men's league, Abingdon B enjoyed a mixed start, losing 4-2 against their A side, before beating Bicester by the same score in their next match.

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 . . . ”
