CHAIRMAN Neil Hopper says Oxford Harlequins will not be relegated from National League 3 South West without a fight.
Harlequins are five points from safety, with four games remaining.
Their task doesn’t get any easier this weekend, with league leaders Redingensians the visitors.
Hopper said: “It is not going to be easy, but no games are in this league.
“The lads won’t give up – it will come down to the last minute of the season.”
Quins have made seven changes.
