OXFORD University launched their National Under-20 Championship campaign with a 17-11 win over Notts, Lincs & Derbyshire at Derby yesterday.
Tries from prop Lewis Anderson (University College) and wingers Hugo Phillips (University College) and Sam Beer (Oriel College) gave Oxford the edge in the rearranged Midlands Region B encounter.
Fly-half Jonathan Hudson (Brasenose College) added a conversion.
NL&D got the deficit down to a point at one stage when they rallied from being 7-3 down at half-time to trail 12-11.
Winger Alex Leverton (Nottingham) scored NL&D’s only try and centre Jonno Williams (Mansfield) kicked a penalty in each half.
NL&D’s next outing is against North Midlands, the defending Midlands champions, on February 22, a game that has been switched from Moseley to Droitwich.
Moseley’s Billesley Common pitch is still recovering from the recent heavy snow and rain and they have a home National League One match scheduled for next Saturday.
