“I share this award with the whole team as they have bonded really well and continue to prove that you can be successful in sport by playing fair and having fun at the same time.”

Lions grabbed top spot after winning their last three matches against Loughborough University (7-3), Team Bath (7-6) and Cardiff (10-2), After defeating England B 4-3 in a friendly at Northampton on Saturday, their demolition of Cardiff on Sunday gave Oxford the goal difference they needed to go top.

Luke Ballinger (4), Edgar Da'Silva (2), Bruno Gibbin (2), Alfee Robbins and Paulo Caetano were all on target for the rampant Lions.
