OXFORD Cavaliers started their season with a thumping 62-0 defeat at home to Greenwich Admirals.

Playing in the London & South Division of the Rugby League Conference, a well-drilled Admirals team proved a class above.

And to compound their misery, loose forward Tom Ollie dislocated a shoulder and will miss the rest of the season.

Trailing 20-0 at half-time, Cavaliers crumbled after the break, conceding a hatful of tries in a heavy defeat.
