🏉💜💙 CUP VICTORY FOR THE O’S! 💜💙🏉

OPM U15s 40–29 Devonport Services 🔥

Another brilliant performance from the boys as the O’s continue their UNBEATEN RUN! 💪

The O’s came flying out of the blocks, playing some outstanding rugby and heading into half-time with a 30-point lead! The forwards laid a fantastic platform, giving the backs the opportunity to play some superb rugby. 👏

With a depleted squad due to half-term absences and football commitments, the boys had to adapt in the second half, with forwards stepping into the backs to help cover the numbers. Fair play to everyone who stepped up! 💜💙

Devonport came back strongly after the break, scoring some excellent individual tries to make a real contest of it. But the O’s showed great determination to see out the game and secure another cup victory! 🏆

🏅 PLAYERS OF THE MATCH

💪 Forwards: Dylan H & Shayne M

Huge credit to all the boys for adapting, working hard for each other and continuing to show what this team is all about. Another win, another step forward, and the unbeaten run rolls on!

ON TO THE NEXT ONE! LET’S GO O’S! 💜💙🔥

🏉🏉U7s Bradfords Cup🏉🏉

The sun was shining in Woodbury on Sunday as OPM U7 took to the pitch for their first ever Bradfords Community Cup. They showed a fantastic display of teamwork and determination in only their second competitive game scenario.

The team secured an amazing 3 wins from 4 matches! Across all four back to back matches, the boys showed great teamwork, fast feet and, most importantly, had fun!

💪💪Well done OPMs!💪💪

Playing Oaks is always a big game and the U12s certainly fronted up to that challenge on Sunday!

The way they tackled, rucked and mauled was excellent. The boys technical ex*****on of the core skills was some of the best the coaches have witnessed.

60 mins of hard fought rugby where the team played for each other to the final whistle. Loads of commitment and energy - all that the coaches could ask for.

Awesome stuff, you did yourself, your teammates and OPMs proud.👍

🏉🏉OPM U11s vs Plymstock Oaks at home on Sunday🏉🏉

The age group has a great depth of squad, fielding two strong teams that came away with 2 wins each. All the players have shown they have secured the tackling and passing skills needed in this age group, alongside kicking the ball really intelligently and winning the ball back in key areas to score their tries.

Fantastic teamwork and a love of the game that will last long into the future.

💪💪Well done Under 11s!💪💪

🏉🏉The OPM Under-14s delivered a spectacular performance on a glorious, sunny day in Crediton, walking away with a hard-fought 39–27 victory in the Devon Cup. 🏉🏉

Facing a highly competitive opposition on their own turf, the young OPM squad rose to the occasion in an absolute thriller. This match was the ultimate testament to weeks of engaging training sessions and relentless focus. Every defensive drill and attacking pattern rehearsed under the watchful eyes of the coaching staff was executed with precision on the pitch.

What truly defined the day was the team spirit on display and the encouragement shown to each other. The pack dug deep during the tight exchanges, executing crucial turnovers and setting a rock-solid foundation that couldn’t be shifted! The backs capitalized on clean ball delivery, with driving runs taking on player after player after player!

Winning a Devon Cup tie away from home is never an easy feat, but this team shrugged off the strong tackles from the other side like they were melted butter on a knife! The energy from the sidelines from traveling parents and supporters mirrored the fire on the pitch, carrying the boys through to the final whistle.

💪💪This 39–27 victory is just the beginning for this tight-knit group. If they keep bringing this level of dedication, heart, and collective work ethic to the remainder of the tournament, the rest of Devon has a very serious challenge on its hands. 💪💪

🚗🚙With groundwork’s beginning at KGV and the car park being reduced in capacity for the next few weeks, please walk to site if you can. Please follow our parking guidance and be considerate or our neighbours. 🚗🚙

Something to bear in mind during midweek training and Sunday games. Parking advise will be sent direct to teams through your parent reps. Please keep an eye out!

🏉🏉🏉 KGV UPDATE 🏉🏉🏉

As highlighted in previous communications, following the FA grant being signed off for the main rugby pitch at KGV Fields, the drainage work has now begun with the heras fencing taking shape and the initial machinery being brought onto the site.

Due to the nature of this work, this means that the car park will only have two thirds of its normal access available and the wider section around the pitch will initially be boundaried off to all.

On completion of the initial works, the car park will be made available and heras fencing moved closer to the pitchside for the second phase of the project.

We understand that this will cause some disruption to all users but we ask for your patience and understanding. Please ensure that you park using the markings provided to ensure maximum capacity for cars and use alternative modes of travel wherever possible.

We look forward to the next part of the project being completed in a timely fashion so we can progress with the ongoing works to support the rugby club and wider community.

We thankyou for your support in this matter.
OPM Committee
