Oxford Cavaliers chairman Matt Walsh says they are a team in demand as they prepare for the new rugby league season.

Cavaliers saw Halton Farnworth Hornets pull out of a friendly on April 21, but then saw Greenwich Admirals step into the breach almost immediately.

Walsh said: "It shows the club is wanted and respected by other teams.

"There was interest from several other clubs such as Wolverhampton, Birmingham and Coventry, so we should have more friendlies yet."
