Bucks 2 Oxon 0
June 19th : 5 triples welcomed our friends from Thame, who were seeking revenge for the win we secured when visiting them back in April. No joy for our visitors, however, as they were beaten 102 shots to 51. We very much look forward to renewing our friendly rivalry next season.

Both qualify for the County quarter finals. Princes Risborough finished 4th in the league of 6.
