Oxfordshire face another tough test this weekend when they take on second-in-the-table Lancashire in the BDO Inter-Counties Champion-ship at East Challow Royal British Legion.
The northeners trail leaders Yorkshire by just 16 points and boast the top ladies B team in the land with a seven out of seven record.
Oxon have rung the changes with Kevin Wilkins, Paul Farnes and Keith Bedding promoted to the men’s A team, while Kit Young, Jon Jukes and Les Radford move to the B side.
Mark Breakspear makes his debut for the B team after some good performances in the Oxfordshire Super League, and Shirley Castle is back in the ladies B team.
Play starts at noon on Saturday and 11am on Sunday.
