THE annual Town & Gown rugby league clash will take place at Oxford RFC on Sunday, November 13.
Oxford University face Oxford Cavaliers for the Jacques Scott Memorial Cup, played in memory of the former physio of both clubs.
The referee will be former South African international and Halifax, Castleford Tigers and Huddersfield Giants player Jamie Bloem.
Cavaliers will also field their first Polish player in Adam Bryla.
Oxford University head coach Dan Garbutt said “Jacques was such a massive part of both clubs. It is a great opportunity to celebrate her life and her huge contribution to local rugby league.
Cavaliers’ academy coach Mark Shaw said: “This is a great match. The University have won for the last two years, so I hope the Cavaliers can win it back.”
