Brize Norton are celebrating reaching the South England Regional League for the first time.

Having won the Oxfordshire Premier League, Brize were one of five sides to compete in a round robin event where the top two teams qualified.

And the west Oxfordshire outfit held their nerve in a tense final match to book the runners-up berth.

A 29-17 victory over Sussex Lightening was followed by a 25-23 triumph over Shorwell.

However, their qualification was in jeopardy after a 25-22 loss against Shooting Stars.

But a 37-12 success over Solent in the final game was enough to qualify.
