2026/27 FIXTURES RELEASED

The wait is over… our men's fixtures for the new season are here!

There’s been a slight change to the usual start to the season, with the league campaign delayed for safety reasons. Following the hot summer, the ground was left extremely hard, making it difficult to safely complete full-contact pre-season training.

The extra time has allowed conditions to improve and the squad to prepare properly — and now we’re ready to get going!

With league fixtures, local rivalries and the Oxfordshire Shield to defend, we’ve got plenty to look forward to!

Save the dates. Get behind the lads. Let’s make it a season to remember!

Our home fixture is currently subject to the pitches being brought back into bounds. We’re hoping the rain softens the ground sufficiently, with a decision expected soon.

Three important tests as we build towards the 2026/27 season.
