The RFL have released a provisional fixture list for the Oxford cavaliers 2011 season. Dates are not set in stone.
With the 2011 season fast approaching for the Cavaliers Open Age side all involved at the club have been eagerly awaiting confirmation of the league the club will be competing in as well as the teams they will be facing. With the Cavaliers voices being heard by the RFL with regards to travelling distances the change of leagues was imminent so the Cavaliers will be competing in a smaller league with smaller travelling distances. Old rivals Swindon St George will go head to head with the Cavaliers in the newly formed league as well as a Bristol Sonics seconds showing how far they have come in recent years in terms of their development as a club. Wiltshire Wyverns will complete the league and Southampton Spitfires will have a second team of their own who will play alongside the league in friendly fixtures against all four clubs.
