All four Oxfordshire sides were dumped out of the EDF Energy Senior Vase at the second-round stage, but only three actually took the field.

Witney, Chipping Norton and Grove were all beaten, while Bicester gave Cirencester a walkover.

Widden Old Boys defeated Witney 21-9 at Hailey Road after pulling away in the final five minutes.

Witney scrummaged well early on, with the new-look front row of Matt Brocklebank, Brad Groebblar and Alan Richens to the fore.

Their pressure was rewarded with debutant fly half Dan Wheeler slotting a penalty.

Widden hit back with a penalty from their loose-head prop.

Witney flanker Tim Muller burst through, but delayed his pass too long and the chance was lost.

Widden took the lead with a well-worked try, while Wheeler slotted a second penalty before half- time.

James Lamb, Chris Murray, Joe Collins and Lewis Collins all threatened, but Widden's defence held firm.

Wheeler and Widden's kicker exchanged penalties for 11-9.

But Widden sealed victory with a late converted try and penalty.

Chipping Norton also suffered late on in their 51-29 defeat at Gordon League.

They trailed only 35-29 with ten minutes to go, but finished with 13 men after losing two players to injury.

Only five of last week's starting line-up featured this time, so Chippy weren't too downhearted.

Grove lost 38-6 at home to Chosen Hill Former Pupils.
