Overseas Old Boys

Overseas Old Boys Founded 2004 by Rob Wright and Tony Pannell The core of the team consists of players who played in the annual New Year's Day Tournament through the years.

The Overseas Old Boys Rugby Football Club (OSOB for short) was established in 2004 by the founding fathers - Rob Wright and Tony Pannell. OSOB developed out of the annual New Year's Day Youth Rugby Tournament where teams coached by Rob and Tony went unbeaten between the years of 1997 and 2002. The team reads like the United Nations and comprises of players from all over the world including Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Japan, and the Philippines. We have also had the pleasure of welcoming guest players from the UK, New Zealand, Australia and Samoa. Some of these players have gone onto provincial honours in their home countries. Two former OSOB players – Mark Wright and Kenzo Pannell - are now representing Hong Kong in the Hong Kong 7s and the Asian 5 Nations, with several more hoping to follow in their footsteps.
