THREE Oxfordshire women will be representing England in the British Isles Championships at Worthing next week.

Banbury Central’s Carole Galletly wins her first cap in the competition at Beach House Park.

She is joined by clubmate Caroline Campion, who has played for her country before under the banner of the old English Women’s Bowling Association (EWBA), but not Bowls England.

Oxfordshire’s trio is completed by Oxford City & County’s Katherine Hawes, who has been recalled to the team.

England will take on Wales and Jersey on Tuesday, before facing Ireland and Scotland on Wednesday.

  • OXFORDSHIRE will be looking to make it two wins from as many starts in Middleton Cup Group 3B when they face Surrey at Banbury Central on Saturday (2pm).

Oxon, who beat Hampshire 127-119 in their opener two weeks ago, are un-changed.

Oxon: AJ Docherty, J King, M Charlett, M Sykes; K Holloway, I Henwood, N Rae-Welsh, I Snowdon; C Miles, P Sharman, S Richens, A Prew; M Petersen, Ge Moon, Ro Clanfield, B Sparkes; L Young, N Lewis, C Nicoll, H Watts; J Philpott, B Lambourne, R Redford, Gr Moon.

  • OXFORDSHIRE, who reached the National County Two Fours semi-finals at Worthing last year, crashed out in the first round this time with defeat by Bucks at Princes Risborough.

Oxon lost on both rinks, with skips Greg Moon and Howard Watts unable to stop Bucks charging into the next round.

  • OXFORDSHIRE Under 25s play Surrey in the Junior Home Counties League at Kidlington Bowls Club on Sunday, June 27 (10.30am).
