Cowley 3 lost their unbeaten run in the league at the hands of Banbury 2 on Monday 7th January but still hold top spot in Division 3 at the half way point. Weakened by the loss of their top two boards, Dave Shiner having returned to the States and Maria holidaying in Hungary, the team struggled and had only a half point from Jenny to show from the first three games. Fortunately Graham and John, both enjoying excellent unbeaten runs, won to reduce the final deficit to 2.5 - 3.5.
The following evening Cowley 2 travelled to play Banbury 1 and extracted some revenge in a 4-2 victory with wins from Gerard, Heather and Nick. Ex Cowley player, Neil Staples, recorded Banbury's only win.
