OXFORD & Horspath CC jet off on a five-match tour of South Africa next week.

The Home Counties Premier League club fly out from Heathrow on Boxing Day.

Based in Cape Town, they have games against Groot Drakenstein, Bellville, Hermanus, Oudtshoorn and a Western Province Chairman's XI before returning on January 10.

The 50-plus party includes five members of last season's Division 2 West title-winning team in Pat Jobson, Keith Mustow, Ben Thompson, Adam Cook and Robbie Eason, plus Bicester & North Oxford's county off-spinner Paul Jeacock.

They will be accompanied on the flight from Heathrow by some familiar faces, as Bucks CCC are also going on tour to South Africa.
