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.
