BICESTER were left twiddling their thumbs for a second successive Saturday after Littlemore gave them a walkover in the BB&O Premier Division.

They picked up the points from their scheduled clash at Oxford Road, but may rue not having the chance to run in a hatful of tries.

So far this season, Littlemore have lost 86-0 to Slough in the league and 44-0 to Broadmoor Staff in the EDF Energy Senior Vase.

Bicester had the previous Saturday off as well because their opponents Drifters were in cup action and should finally get going again at Phoenix this week.

Littlemore spokesman Matthew Westcott said: "Unfortunately, we only had 13 players available due to injuries in our pack.

"One of our second row forwards, Darren Warne, broke his leg in training on Tuesday and we have ongoing issues with the availability of some players due to work and social commitments.

"It is not our style to forfeit a game, but we did not want to field inexperienced players against Bicester and face further injury worries within our squad."
