Oxfordshire will be looking to close the gap on the top three when they take on Middlesex in Rileys British Inter-Counties Championship Division 1 at South Harrow this weekend.

Their opponents, who are in mid-table, lost only narrowly to leaders Cornwall in their last outing.

Oxon go into the game at Tithe Farm Social Club, Rayners Lane with a record of two wins and a draw.

The ladies B team, who are top of their section, remain unchanged, while the ladies A line-up includes BDO world championship singles semi-finalist Deta Hedman.

She went out 2-0 to the eventual winner, eight-times champion Trina Gulliver, the former Shears, Wantage, star.

Oxon men’s A team remain unchanged, with Stuart Dutton aiming for a hat-trick of man-of-the-match awards.

Roger Haines, who also won in Oxon’s win over Derbyshire before Christmas, will be looking to shine again.

The men’s B line-up sees the return of Mark Breakspear after a good run of form in the Oxfordshire Super League.

The games start at midday on Saturday and Sunday.
