FOLLOWING her chastening defeat in the BDO World Championship, Deta Hedman returns to help Oxfordshire’s Division 1 promotion bid in the Inter-Counties Championship this weekend.
One of the favourites, Hedman went down 2-1 to former Oxon player Casey Gallacher in her first round at Lakeside.
After commentating on TV, Hedman will drive to Wales as Oxon take on Gwent on Saturday and Sunday, seeking to close in on the top two.
Oxon will be encouraged by the great performance in beating Cleveland before Christmas.
Gwent sit just below Oxfordshire in the league by six points, so every point matters.
The match will be played at Hafodyrynys RFC, The Pavilion, Hafodyrynys, Crumlin, Gwent, NP11 5BE, starting at 12 noon on Saturday and 11am on
Sunday.
