RESULT: Oxford Cheetahs 33 – 57 Poole Wessex Marine Pirates

A heavily depleted Oxford Chetahs side suffered their first home defeat of the season after a nasty spill for Scott Nicholls in Heat four saw him ruled out for the meeting.

The result was a formality and the Cheetahs will need to re-group if they are to stage a comeback when they travel to Poole next Wednesday.

A full match report will be published shortly.
