Witney were knocked off top spot in South West 1 East after Maidenhead won the only game in the region to survive the big freeze.

While Witney saw their top-of-the-table clash at Olney postponed, Maidenhead were able to leap from third to first with a 26-10 victory over Reading Abbey.

Like most of Oxfordshire’s clubs, Witney have now lost two consecutive matches to the cold weather.

Their home game with High Wycombe, which was scheduled for November 27, has now been rearranged for February 12, while the trip to Olney will be on February 26.

This looks likely to be the pattern for all the Oxfordshire clubs affected by the recent freeze.

This weekend, Witney travel to Wallingford in the league.
