Oxford Harlequins drew a blank in a 23-0 defeat at Gloucester side Old Centralians in National 3 South West.

The hosts opened the scoring on 14 minutes with a Sam Goatley try.

Slack defence then let in Joe Preece for a try, which was converted by Liam Hemming.

A minute later Hemming kicked a penalty to make it 15-0 at the break, and he was on target again with another penalty eight minutes into the second half.

Harlequins’s much-changed young side battled well, but the hosts sealed victory when Alex Bailey scored a try with  the last move of the game.
