naturally a tighthead prop, but can play anywhere in the front row when called upon. This is his forth season for the old priorians and thirteenth playing for a st. benedicts based side.

Pass-times include missing tackles and passes in key areas. When on the ball, this player fancies himself as a Gareth Edwards type. This is reflected by his willingness to kick penalties and conversions from anywhere on the field...
"Let me kick it!"
When off the ball, he has been known to stand helplessly out of position.
Taught Leigh Halfpenny everything he knows.

I love beer. 

I play prop- the pace man of the group really. left in 09 and eager to play wenever possible

Prop, winger

Utility Back-Row forward. Prefer 2nd row/No8...Often found hanging off rucks/malls trying to look as busy as poss. Otherwise found in the beer garden of Ealing's finest establishments.

Matthew "Doylie" Doyle left St. Benedict's in 2004.

Rugby highlights included playing for the U11's when only 10, getting colours at U13 (which his mum then sewed onto his shirt!) and handing off Ed Conway in a 7's game.

Strengths: Piano duets, fanstasy football team names (Plymatt Ardoyle = recent favourite) & idle threats.

Weaknesses: Left ankle, 'Bounds' & long periods in the sun.

1997 Old Boy. Following a prolonged & revitalizing period in the rugby wilderness / pie shop I felt the need to put down that pie & pick up the boots again. I would rather play back row - but unfortunately due to being genetically inflicted with extreme medium pace I will probably end up in the 2nd row.

Centre, Full back or fly half. Left in 04' after joining the senior school in 97'. They call me the bri man. Used to love pies but now only have eyes for Mrs. Hanke. She's the best part of my healthy new diet.

John 'The Guns' Gleeson left St Benedict's in 2007. He generally plays at Hooker (because he has never been given a chance anywhere else!). He has great banter, he's good on the lash and he loves Hanks' Sister's post game chow.

Left St Benedict's in 2006. Not played too much rugby but up for it. Play on the wing and love a bit flair. Like going out, drinking, making shapes, 7s etc.

I came training last night and really enjoyed myself. I play Gaelic Football really but alway being interested in Rugby. I am a friend of Ben Jakeman who plays for you already.

An impact player for 80 minutes, Horan is deservedly considered by many OP pundits to be the complete second-row package. Never happier than when dancing the Five-point-fandango over the opposition's line, or securing turnover against impossible odds, Horan can always be found in the thick of the action. Friends and opponents alike are wont to refer to the 6' 5" powerhouse as the "Second Row Sasquatch," the "Mauling Marauder," the "Lineout Leviathan," the "Priorians Punisher," or simply the "Master of Disaster". His legion of female admirers however are more likely to refer to the Ickenham based hard man as the "Line-out Love Machine" or the "Lascivious Lock". Known as much for his off-field antics as his devastating forward play, Ben can always be found at the heart of any changing room banter or shenanigans, and is renowned for his ability to quoff prodigious quantities of throat oil in local hostelries with the chaps on club socials. All-in-all this dashing cavalier of the game is definitely one to watch, and an OP through and through. - E.C.

wing

 

2004 leaver. Having not played in 3 years I made my much anticipated comeback appearance against Old Streetonian 2s. I have been told an international career now beckons.

I am a fun tough nut person. A fun guy and very family orenatated person

DOB: 08/04/88

Front row 1/2 preferred 2.

Once upon a time I was a wing/fullback

Like most front row, I reckon I can play anywhere else however this rarely if ever happens....

Play 9 / 2 / or 1

Heartbreaking injuries struck me down in my prime but I firmly believe that I have one great comeback left in me. Chris Brown did it and so will I. 

Number one. Everyday. All Day. Believe it.

Played for SBJS, and more recently Ealing Trailfinders up until Colts (U19s)

wing or 15

the french wouldnt let me play there so i moved back to UK to infect OPs with my massive keenness and lack of skill

Dabble around the forwards.

Not my first time playing rugby. 
Currently studying abroad in America so will be unable to attend any matches this season. 

Legend.

I left St. Benedict's in 2008 having played in the backrow for the 2nd XV.
I attend Exeter University where I play Rugby League.

2005 leaver. Normally play at 9 or 7

Flanker, no 8, second row, inside center

Single male seeking female companionship. I’m a very good looking young man who loves to take long walks, beat up ninjas, test the acidity of fox urine and cosy winter nights by the fire. Really like a woman with a pickup truck. A candlelight dinner prepared by none other than Mrs. Gleeson will have me wet with desire whilst she is wearing only what nature gave her. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. An outstanding flanker who taught Neil Back everything he knows.

Position: Second Row
