Josh Byles has been impressing at full back for Oxford this season ten years after being the Oxfordshire Mini and Junior Festival’s cover star.
Byles has worked his way through Oxford’s ranks since joining at under seven level and, although off to university in September, he will continue to play when he can next season.
The former Matthew Arnold School, Cumnor pupil was pictured as an under seven on the front page of the programme when Oxford hosted the festival in 1999.
He has gone from strength to strength since then, this season representing Oxf-ordshire Under 20s and winning the county colts cup with the Leadbitter Oxford Rugby Academy.
Oxford RFC host rugby from under 7 to 19 (colts) level on Sunday mornings at the Southern Bypass from 10.30am to 12noon.
