OXFORD Cavaliers had to forfeit a game for the second time this season after being unable to field a side against Gloucester Warriors.

The teams were due to clash in the TotalRL.Com Conference South West and Midlands Division at Marston Ferry Road on Saturday, but Cavs had to hand Warriors the points.

Club spokesman Steve Davy said: "Apparently 30 people out of our squad of 40 couldn't make it.

"To be honest, I'm a bit annoyed about it."

Oxford can make amends at home to Coventry Bears on Saturday when the winner will take four points.

Coventry's pitch was not ready for their fixture in May, so this week's result will count double.
