Oxford promoter Vanessa Purchase has set her heart on a clean sweep of Elite League honours this year.

And, as the other two competitions hot up, who would bet against her?

The Craven Shield gets under way next Wednesday when Oxford travel to Poole - a venue where a win would be more than welcome.

Purchase said: "That is one place where a win would be really nice and we are more than capable of it."

The action continues on Friday, September 14 when the long-awaited Knockout Cup kicks into action with a semi-final tie against Ipswich.

"Ipswich have had to work hard to get to the semi-final stage, and we must remember that they have knocked out Poole and Wolverhampton, so they will take some stopping," added Purchase.

Purchase discounted any suggestions that Oxford would be taking it easy should they win the league title.

"We have got a team that can win all three competitions, that is my intention but obviously the League is the big one," she said.
