Oxford Harlequins coach John Brodley believes there is cause for optimism as they enter their final four games of the season.

Quins may be propping up South West 1, but they could still finish clear of the bottom three.

And then there is a fourth consecutive Oxfordshire Cup final to look forward to on April 26.

Brodley said: “We were good against Chipping Norton and played excellently at Clifton the previous week.

“Things are really starting to come together, both on and off the park.

“This should be a positive way to end what has been a difficult season.”
