Oxford Cavaliers were pipped 31-28 by their student rivals in the annual Jacqueline Scott Memorial rugby league match at Stratfield Brake.
A Town v Gown clash saw Oxford University come out on top in a game played in memory of both sides’ former physio.
Prop Ben Louisson’s try opened the scoring for Cavaliers, with Mark Benstead converting.
A brace of tries from John Connaughton gave Cavaliers a 28-25 lead with five minutes left, but a late try and conversion sealed it for skipper and man-of-the-match Tom Waterfield’s students.
