BUCKS' badminton team remain on course to return to Britain's top division after keeping the pressure on leaders Essex in the Premier B County Championship.

The Bucks team of Lorna Davis, Jo Hall, Sarah Ward, Rob Cartmell, Katy Brydon, Tom Causer, Kevin Holland and Nathan Rice, are now holding second spot in the table and an automatic promotion spot.

Last weekend at Telford, they began badly losing 7-3 to Worcestershire but bounced back with a draw against Essex and an 8-2 win over Dorset.
