DARTS: Oxon bid for big time
It's crunch time for Oxfordshire this weekend as they bid for promotion to the British Darts Organisation Inter-Counties Championship Premier Division.
The fixture away to mid-table Staffordshire is the most important in more than 30 years of Oxfordshire darts.
They have won seven out of eight matches in Division 1 and are one point behind leaders Surrey, who are away to bottom county Bucks in their last fixture.
As the top two go up to the Premer, Oxon look well placed to achieve their fourth promotion in successive years, which would be a unique feat in county darts.
It would put Oxon in the top flight against major counties like Yorkshire and Lancashire for the first time. The title would be the icing on the cake.
Cali and Cath Birch return to the ladies' B team, while Mark Stocker and Graham Manning come back into the men's B.
The games will be played at the Polish White Eagle Club, Riverway, Stafford and start at midday on Saturday and 11.30am on Sunday.
