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.

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.

With just the three games left to play in the campaign we remain, despite last Saturday’s setback, seven points clear at the top of National League Two South and need ‘just’ nine points from those remaining games to be crowned champions. Huge thanks to the legions of Stortford fans who travelled to Chinnor last week to support our guys. Whilst the result wasn’t quite what we’d hoped for, the losing bonus point we brought home, along with restricting one of our closest competitors to just the four point win means that our destiny is still very much in our own hands and we can hardly ask for much more at this late stage.
