WEST Witney Ladies will be attempting to bring Oxfordshire their first national club veterans title when they compete at Sunday's 1998 Vete-rans Championship at the National Hockey Stadium, Milton Keynes.

Witney, who won the Oxon veterans championship by beating Henley in the final, then shocked more fancied sides by winning the South territorial championships which were held at Tilsley Park, Abingdon.

Despite losing to Woking Swifts in their first-round game they gained revenge on the Surrey outfit with a 1-0 win over them in the final. On their way to the final they beat Ealing and Bracknell.

In Sunday's national finals, which start at 9.30am, they represent the South of Eng-land against The Owls (Mid-lands), Chelmsford (East), Blackburn (North) and Exmouth (West).

West Witney Veterans: L Billington, P Demczak, S Roberts, J Salter, R Henderson, A Cleverley, J Phillips, D Gorrod, J Chaundy, M Hope, J Howard, M Bint, S Willbery, J Nunneley, J Tavinor.
