OXFORDSHIRE bid to make history tomorrow when they look to turn their third appearance at Twickenham into a first victory.

With ill-discipline a major factor in their defeat to Northumberland in 2003, Oxon returned to the national stadium three years later.

But they fell just four points short of beating Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire & Derbyshire.
