Firstly, I would like to thank our outgoing President Jerry Ovens, and applaud him on the fine work he has put into the Club.
It is an honour and privilege to be elected as Club President, something I never imagined when I joined, some 45 years ago, also humbling to follow in my father’s footsteps.
Here at O.R.F.C. we thrive, thanks to our Players and Coaches, the dedication of our Committee and Volunteers and the generosity of our Sponsors and Supporters. You are all an essential part of what makes our Club special.
Last Season saw our 1st Team finish Mid table, with 10 wins on the bounce, at times it looked like we may have a top 3 finish, with some notable displays. With a new coaching structure in place this Season, and our youngsters gaining experience every game, we have a solid platform to build on.
The Ladies Season speaks for itself, amazing league and Cup double, with lots of entertaining Rugby Played. As an all-round Team, their performance’s have been immeasurable, speed and agility in the backs, with the forwards a cohesive unit feeding them.
Our Colts and Youth Team’s remain strong and are our bloodline to successful Rugby.
Let us re-establish the Showground as a fortress and take no Prisoners. Keep the Maroon and Amber blood flowing.
Lloyd Thomas – President
