Littlemore believe they are on the way up again after having to pull out of league rugby last season.

The Oxford club (pictured) lie third in BB&O Division 2 South, just two points below leaders Hungerford, and have picked up two new sponsors.

Dayla, the regional wholesale group, is Littlemore's shirt sponsor, while Wallingford estate agent Lock & Company have provided shorts, post protectors and flags.

A second team has started up again under the captaincy of Paul Goodenough and closer links are growing with Oxford Brookes University.

Littlemore have had scrummage coaching from Oxford University hooker Winston Cowie and will host their third ten-a-side tournament next year.
