Oxford Cavaliers Rugby League Football Club is the first amateur rugby league club formed in Oxford in the summer era.
Over 16 years the Cavaliers have coached and developed several players who have gone on to play the game both professionally and semi-professionally. Cavaliers juniors Mike Castle and Corey Simms both represented London Skolars, Jamie Cope joined Keighley Cougars, while Australians Barry Randall and Brad Smith both had a spell at Super League side, London Broncos (via Rochdale Hornets). Arguably the club's greatest on-field success however, was the development of current Leeds Rhinos and England prop forward, Darrell Griffin. Darrell began his long and distinguished career with the Cavaliers, having joined the club's junior ranks from Witney Rugby Union club at just 16 years of age. He has gone on to make close to 250 Super League appearances, spanning over a decade with London Broncos, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, Huddersfield Giants, and current club, Leeds Rhinos. Darrell has four England caps, his last coming in the 36-10 Gillette Rugby League Four Nations victory over Papua New Guinea at Eden Park, Auckland in 2010.
