Oxfordshire aim to build on their excellent opening victory away to London when they host West Midlands in Division 1 of the Rileys British Inter-Counties Championship this weekend.

The county triumphed 19-17 at Wandsworth a fortnight ago to get their new campaign off to a flying start.

The ladies A and B teams remain unchanged.

The men’s A side sees the return of Roger Haines, while John Russell and Nigel Russell are back for the men’s B.

The inclusion of the two Russells means there are four players of that name in the line-up.

John is joined by his son, Lee, while the quartet is completed by Neal.

Neal and Nigel Russell are not related.

Antony Barrett makes his B team debut, while Jason Cattermole and Lee Collings are named in the reserves after showing good form in the Oxfordshire Super League.

The games will be played at the county’s new venue of Rileys Snooker Pool and Darts Club in Between Towns Road, Cowley.

Play starts at midday on Saturday and 11am on Sunday.
