🔥 OILERS — LISTEN UP 🔥
Teams, gather in.
Take a look around you, at your mates, your coaches, your families, your club.
Tomorrow, at the home of rugby, Whitby Club, Dunkirk Lane, every single one of you gets to wear those colours with pride.
U14s, U11s, U10s, U8s, four teams, one club, one heartbeat.
And you’re not just playing any old fixture.
You’re welcoming Birkenhead Park, a club with history, with talent, with bite.
But here’s the truth:
They’re coming to our home.
Our pitch.
Our spirit.
Our family.
All pre season, you’ve trained, learned, grafted, laughed, and grown. You’ve turned up in the sun, the rain, the hot, the cold, the mud, and you’ve done it with smiles, courage, and commitment. That’s what makes you rugby players. That’s what makes you Oilers.
Tomorrow, when that whistle goes, I want every single person at Whitby to feel something.
To feel your energy.
To feel your pride.
To feel your togetherness.
Because rugby isn’t just about tries and tackles oh no! It’s about respect, bravery, teamwork, and heart. And you’ve got all of that in buckets.
So here’s what I want from you:
Run hard.
Tackle/Tag bravely.
Support each other relentlessly.
Play with joy.
Play with fire.
Play like an Oiler.
When you score, celebrate.
When you get knocked down, get up.
When your teammate needs you, be there.
When the crowd roars, let it lift you.
When the game gets tough, dig in because that’s when champions are made.
Tomorrow is your chance to show everyone what this club is building.
Your chance to show what it means to wear red, yellow and black.
Your chance to make this club proud.
So stand tall.
Stand together.
And go out there and show Birkenhead Park exactly who you are.
COME ON YOU OILERS!!!!
