Oxfordshire will hope to get their promotion campaign back on track when they play their sixth fixture of the season in Division 1 this weekend away to Gwent.

Following last month’s defeat to Hampshire, it is a must-win game if they are to maintain their quest of making it into the top flight of British darts this season.

Oxon went down 23-13 against Hampshire at Fareham and weren’t helped by a 10-2 defeat in the men’s B match on the opening day.

They will want a better start against the Welsh, who are fourth in the table.

Oxon make a couple of changes after that defeat, with Kevin Wilkins moving up to the men’s A team, while Neil Russell and Sean Holley return to the men’s B.

The county under 21 captain, Dean Lockyer, and Stephen Wright come into the squad as reserves.

The games will be played at Hafodyrynys RFC, The Pavilion, Hafodyrynys, Crumlin, (Newport), Gwent.

Play starts at 12.30pm on Saturday and 12noon on Sunday.
