May I start by paying tribute to Mike Rogers the outgoing ODRFC President for all his hard work – it’s a shame as after 10 years he was just getting the hang of it! May I welcome too, fellow prop, Colin Sinclair as our new ODRFC Chairman who has ambitious plans to drive the Club onwards and upwards! The dark arts of the front row now in charge!

First team pre-season training is now well underway and the team has acquitted themselves well in their opening warm up match with a strong Old Elthamian’s Development side, losing by just three tries to two, but much promise shown. Plus, we have a new 2019/20 exciting match and social programme to look forward to.
