Orrell St James

It’ll be a bit tasty OSJ v The Army.
Not for the faint of heart.

I might go and have a look at that one. They've done a fabulous job of the new clubhouse at Orrell St. James.

Good side Orrell. Played against them many a times for Ashton before realising my body can’t do what my head wants it to anymore

Quick around the ruck and some tough agile forwards to boot with a good offload game and rapid backs ready to take full advantage. I’ve also played against the Army and they are tough as old boots, strong all around the pitch and predictably extremely fit.

Will be a good game this one I reckon.

Yes the clubhouse is a credit to the club.
A few of us going.
If you are going let me know and we can meet up for a beer.

Yes, planning on going, my seven year old grandson plays there. They have training on Saturday morning so I'll probably nip into the club for a quick pint after the game with him.

He's a bit young to be drinking pints isn't he, he should be starting off on half's surely!

It's a very good setup for the juniors. My grandson is at Judes. In their age group OSJ are their main rivals.

Anticipating a very good crowd apparently so I expect lengthy queues in the clubhouse. Just hope that they get a dry day to help maximise the crowd.
I am hearing that there could be one or two missing for OSJ due to injuries which would be very disappointing however, I'm sure that they will give a very good account of themselves.

One of the good things about OSJ is they practice the same moves through different ages so as teams progress through the ages they already know how to fit in at open age level
