RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Oxford Harlequins RFC was first established in 1996 following a merger
between Oxford Marathons and Oxford Old Boys rugby clubs. Their mission
was to improve the standard of rugby in the area and they have remained on
course to achieve their ambition since.
They have enjoyed considerable
success in their relatively short history,
winning the Southern Counties North
League (2001-02) and the South West
Division 1 East League on two occasions.
Their current group of players will be
keen to add to these successes over the
coming years.
At present the club is based on
Marston Ferry Road in Oxfordshire
78 Issue 70
and their first team competes in South
West 1 East. They are led by the team of
President David Woodward and Chair
Neil Hopper and the club is looking to
progress under their guidance.
They have put together a solid league
campaign this time around having put
together a record of eleven wins, a draw
and thirteen defeats from their twenty
five matches. This has left them sitting in
a safe mid-table position with fifty three
points on the board.
This should provide them with a
good platform from which to build as
they look towards the future. As long as
they are able to retain their current group
of players and can perhaps make one or
two quality additions they should be in
with a good chance of pushing on up the
table next time around.
