What a season Oxfordshire have just had, I was fortunate enough to watch one of the most exciting County Cup fnals played at Iffey Road, between Banbury and Oxford University Greyhounds. That game showed that County Cup Rugby is alive and thriving in Oxfordshire. This was followed by a fantastic day at Twickenham where the County 1st XV won the Bill Beaumont Shield. I look forward to meeting as many as possible, of the incredibly large army of volunteers that make rugby happen, from Minis to Vets in Oxfordshire during my term as President. Good luck to all of our teams. Enjoy your season.
