Welcome to Silver Leys for our final home game before Christmas and of course 2016. I would especially like to welcome the Players, Officials and Supporters of Exmouth RFC. Everyone lucky enough to be here for our last home match against league leaders Chinnor will agree that they witnessed a compelling game. Even better it resulted in us registering a five point win over our rivals whilst restricting them to just the one try bonus point. Whilst the outcome of the match was never going to have a decisive impact on either team’s future. Our victory certainly made things a lot tighter at the top and sent the majority of those present, home with a smile on their face. I did say that a vocal crowd would make all the difference and so it proved. In the process we also discovered that we have some very capable ‘Banter-mime villains’ in our midst –Boo-Hiss!! Last Saturday at Redingensians was just as exciting. We managed to snatch a bonus point victory from half-way down the throat of defeat. Whilst we undoubtedly deserved to win the game, a combination of us failing to score enough points in a first half which we dominated and our host’s outstanding midfield defence, meant that it looked for all the world that we were going to lose out. But our guys somehow managed to find a way through with the last play, Man of the Match - Ryan Hutler delivering an inspired little grubber kick that totally wrong footed the Rams defence allowing Nick Hankin to apply the final golden touch. Today’s opponents Exmouth were promoted as Champions of National Three (South West) last season. However as countless teams have found in the past, the step up to Level 4 can be daunting and they have won just once & drawn another of their matches to date. Yet those bald facts don’t tell the whole story. They clearly know how to attack having scored nine tries in their last two games. We’ve said many times before, this is a highly competitive league and there can be no room for complacency from our guys, as our visitors are more than capable of delivering us a shock. In other senior’s related news, our Blues haven’t played for a couple of weeks but today entertain Ampthill in a Zoo Shield Div. 1 fixture. Our Mitres have recorded two good wins in the last fortnight beating both Fullerians 2’s & Hertford 3’s to currently sit 2nd in Herts Middlesex Merit League One. On Sunday 18th our Colts play host to Old Rutlishians RFC (Wimbledon- seeing as you asked) in the 4th round of the National Colts Cup. KO 1pm. Also on that day our Minis section are holding their traditional festive fancy dress themed Coaches vs Parents ‘Touch’ Rugby match, raising money for my charity – Ellies Fund. Your support for both these events would be greatly appreciated. As indeed it will be if you’re minded to travel to support the 1st XV at Bury St Edmunds next Saturday. All of which just leaves me to say, I hope you enjoy your time at the club today and to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a successful New Year.

BMW Elms The Ultimate Stansted Driving Machine D.O.R SAYS THE boys are working really hard at the moment and we are in that sticky patch of the season where the weather is starting to close in and people pick up knocks. It is a difficult time of the season but we have to maintain our focus against Exmouth this Saturday. They might be bottom of the table, but to call them a potential banana skin is disrespectful to sides who have come up and we’ll make sure we do our homework on them. We know that they will make it difficult for us and will be fighting to make it hard for us so we have to stay disciplined. We want to put in a decent performance at Silver Leys, our final home game before Christmas to do that we need to make sure we get our basics spot on. With a few knocks it will be a good test of our squad and a chance to show the strength in depth that we have at the moment. A shining example of this has been Jack Scantelbury’s performances over the last few weeks. Jack has been great for the ELMS STANSTED, YOUR Blues this season and once again taken his chance in the 1st XV. ************************************************************ LOCAL BMW RETAILER.

Like so many amongst his rugby highlights include being brought on with only 5 minutes for his debut against Wasp’s U20’s and scoring the winning try, In his ssecond game against Ealing Trailfinders he went a few steps further by scoring a hat trick. Since then he has represented West Norfolk Rugby Club U15’s and U16’s - Norfolk (County) U15’s, U16’s & U17’s - Eastern County’s U15’s, U16’s & U17’s and Midlands U18’s Ryan is currently with Bedford Blues U21’s Academy.

From the round ball game sporting hero is Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid’s number 7. “He has an incredible work ethic and always strives for perfection”. Ryan also plays cricket for Wisbech Town and when not participating he enjoys watching NFL and cycling. Leaving school with 9 GCSE’s and 3 A Levels he is now taking a year out to see where his dream will take him. That dream or ambition is to become a full time professional rugby player, and one can strive for one day playing for England.

Seasonal felicitations to you all & welcome back to Silver Leys for our first game of the New Year, one which holds great promise for our club. Welcome also to the players, officials and supporters of todays opponents Cinderford RFC. ‘2016’ has received a lot of bad press but it was pretty good to us! Bonus point victories in our last four games whilst others surprisingly dropped points, meant we finished the year on top of the heap, which was an unexpected and very pleasant early Christmas present. Last time out here we overcame a spirited Exmouth team 38-7. They certainly didn’t play like they were bottom of the table, which illustrates the competitive nature of this league. In the pre-Christmas game at Bury St Edmunds, our large and vociferous band of travelling supporters helped negate any benefit the Suffolk side may have expected by being at home. Ultimately though games are won and lost on the pitch and once again our guys produced a polished performance to run out comfortable 33-16 winners.

    Old Priorian Rugby Football Club OPRFC NEWSLETTER January 2021 Issue Photo credit: Mr Tsang CONTENTS Chairman’s Note 02 Match Report: EALING 1871 vs OPRFC 07 Head Coach’s Report 08 Season Review 09 Captains Report 11 Chairman’s Note OldBy Alex Priorian Pereira-Inacio Rugby, OPRFC Chairman Football Club To say the 2019/20 season was one we would rather forget and certainly wish to never encounter again is an understatement. Our rugby, which I will let others develop on, despite showing some real signs of promise across both sides was blighted with injuries, tough opposition and us not living up to potential. The emergence of a number of youngsters was a highlight that I am sure will feature further on in this publication. However, all three sides from National 3 that had been relegated found their way into London 1 North and it was an portentous omen for what lay ahead. Our relegation was imposed upon us with 4 games left to play and I was told with no uncertainty not to appeal the decision. Whilst I like to think the RFU was worried about our landmark appeal having a knock-on effect on Saracens, it’s more likely an algorithm somewhere made the decision on their behalf. Denied the opportunity of a Hollywood ending to a torrid season or any Hail Mary play in the last minutes of our final game the club took the relegation with stoicism. Once bruised egos subsided two things became clear. Firstly, this was a chance to shore up the club. In some instances, the fun had gone out of playing and supporting OP rugby.

  • PARK HAVE to DIG DEEP for VICTORY Welcome to Parknews
    ISSUE 21 Season 2019-20 18 December 2019 PARK HAVE TO DIG DEEP FOR VICTORY Welcome to Parknews. The Cinderford pitch passed an early morning inspection, immediately before receiving a Hugo Ellis bags the only try at heavy and prolonged burst of rain. Only some hard work by Cinderford [all 1st XV photos Cinderford people with pitchforks allowed the match to go by David Whittam] ahead at all. The conditions were certainly heavy and, combined with a strong wind, not at all conducive to the running rugby Park prefer to play. It looked very much a match to be won by the stronger pack – not nedessarily the ideal terms of engagement you would wish for when tackling Cinderford at Dockham Road. Park gave their all to dog it out for a hard-fought victory. Park started favoured by the wind, in a match of box kicks and forward drives. Each side got a penalty, but two excellent defences denied either side a sniff of a try in the first half. As the sun began to set in the second half the wind dropped and Park began to get a distinct upper hand. Cinderford could not run through Saturday 21 December Park’s brilliant and committed midfield tackling, and when they kicked to touch their lineout let them down badly. Against a less excellent defence Curtain Raiser Park might have won with a good bit to spare, but a committed maul, behind which Hugo Ellis needed every ounce of his strength to deposit the Park Rangers ball on the line, was the only score of the half.
