FRESH from finishing runner-up in the Women’s World Championship for a third time, Deta Hedman turns her attention to playing for Oxfordshire in the BDO Inter-Counties Championship this weekend.

The 56-year-old will be trying to put that disappointment behind her when representing Oxon in their Division 1 match against Gwent at the Bicester Ex-Services Club on Saturday (12) and Sunday (11am).

Oxon, struggling at the wrong end of the table, recall Kim Ledbury to the ladies’ A team, while Gina Freshwater makes her debut in the B team.

Paddy Kearns is back in the Oxon Men’s A team and Tom Baughan will be making his debut in the B side.
