Chinnor secretary Carol Bradbrook-Taylor said the club were “absolutely delighted” to be hosting London Welsh in a pre-season friendly.

The Exiles will visit Kingsey Road on Saturday, August 17 in the first of three fixtures to prepare for the Greene King IPA Championship season.

Welsh will then host Llanelli Scarlets at Oxford’s Kassam Stadium on Sunday, August 25 and visit Henley on Saturday, August 31.

“We are really pleased to get the fixture,” said Bradbrook-Taylor, whose club are celebrating their 50th anniversary.

“We have established early links with London Welsh through their community officers.

“We are delighted to get a fixture of this calibre.”

Welsh begin their Greene King IPA Championship campaign against Bedford on September 13, 14 or 15 at Saracens’ Allianz Park stadium.
