Oxfordshire will look to build on an encouraging start to their Inter-Counties League Premier Division campaign when they take on Warwickshire at Coventry this weekend (October 6-7).

In their opener, Oxon convincingly beat Kent 24-15.

They make two changes to that line-up. Michael Kearns comes into the men’s B team, while Michael Burgione replaces the unavailable Dennis Smith in the A side. Josh McCarthy is also brought into the squad.

The games will be played Bishopsgate Club, 141-143 Foleshill Road, Coventry and will start 11am on both Saturday and Sunday.
