Property consultants Savills have teamed up with the City of Oxford Rugby Partnership as a corporate sponsor.

Savills, whose offices in Botley are close to the club’s ground in North Hinksey Lane, will support Oxford and Oxford Harlequins until the end of the 2009-10 season as part of its community sponsorship programme.

Their logo appears on the players’ new shirts.

Head of Savills Oxford, David Jackson, said: “We are very happy to have found a local sporting group that we can support throughout the year to complement our sponsorship of the arts.

“The game of rugby is very much aligned with Savills’ ideals and target audience and we have many clients and employees who are keen fans of the sport.

“Both Oxford Harlequins RFC and Oxford RFC are striving for greater things and we wish all the teams involved the best of luck and hope we can contribute to their success.”

Oxford Harlequins will attempt to host Exmouth for a third time in South West 1 on Saturday, February 28.

They hope to play their Oxfordshire Cup first-round tie at Henley Wanderers on Wednesday, February 25
