Oxford Cavaliers

Oxford Cavaliers Rugby League Football Club is the first amateur rugby league club formed in Oxford in the summer era.

For almost thirty years, the Cavaliers have coached and developed several players who have gone on to play the game both professionally and semi-professionally. Cavaliers juniors Mike Castle and Corey Simms both represented London Skolars, Jamie Cope joined Keighley Cougars, while Australians Barry Randall and Brad Smith both had a spell at Super League side, London Broncos (via Rochdale Hornets). Darrell Griffin, who started his rugby league career at the Cavaliers, went on to play for Huddersfield Giants in the Super League.
