BB&O Division 1 South previews

Littlemore hope to continue their recovery with a top-three finish.

Having had to pull out of the league system and re-start in BB&O Division 2 South in 2008-09, Littlemore earned promotion straightaway.

They are well-placed to improve on last year’s sixth.

Spokesman Darrel Rendell said: “We have started well with a 72-30 pre-season victory over Loughborough Town, with a brace of tries from Darren Andrews.”

IN: Terry Eltham (prop, Grove). OUT: None.

LAST SEASON: 6th. PREDICTION: Top Four.

Harwell hope to enjoy playing at a level where they can compete after winning just one match last year.

Spokesman Kevin Lewis urged would-be fans: “Come and watch a game with a boisterous, but good humoured crowd in a wonderful setting.”

IN: Sam Al Khalaf (centre, Kenilworth), Ian Christie (hooker, unattached).

OUT: Lee Lewis (Wallingford).

LAST SEASON: 11th (BB&O Premier Division). PREDICTION: Mid-table.

Having won the Oxfordshire Shield in 2009, Abingdon slumped badly last season to be relegated.

LAST SEASON: 12th (BB&O Premier Division). PREDICTION: Mid-table.
