Oxfordshire bid to make it two wins out of two in the Middleton Cup when they take on Group 3A minnows Isle of Wight at Plessey BC, Cowes on Saturday.

Oxon go into the encounter in buoyant mood following their opening 129-112 triumph over Hampshire.

They will be hot favourites to maintain their 100 per cent record against an Isle of Wight side, whose seasonal bow ended in a 127-103 defeat against Berkshire.

Victory for Oxon is likely to set up a decider against Berks at Banbury Central on Saturday, July 7.
