TOP tournament player Dennis Smith retuns for Oxfordshire’s third game of their BDO Inter-Counties Championship Division 1 campaign away to Staffordshire this weekend.

The 45-year-old missed Oxon’s rousing 25-11 victory over Surrey earlier this month which put them second as they attempt an immediate return to the top flight.

Eamon Lily is back in the men’s B team, while Karen Hill returns to the ladies’ B.

The games will be played at the White Eagle Club, Riverway, and will start at noon on Saturday and 11am for the A team matches on Sunday.
