Saints (2XV)
Adam Hanke Member profile

Team Manager : Adam Hanke

Left in 2004, played Back Row and Second Row for the Firsts until my now failed piano career took precedence. Most fond memories must be of the outstanding 2nd Row relationship of Hanke-Doyle where we dominated both on the pitch and on the keys. However, the brittle bones syndrome that I was diagnosed with meant only the latter aspect of this relationship was able to flourish. Two seasons amongst the OP Saints led to further injury, after tearing all the ligaments in my right shoulder and having them replaced with rubber bands it has finally been time to call it a day on my playing career.

Matthew Doyle Member profile Matthew Doyle
Matthew "Doyley" Doyle was always destined for greatness. Subjectively, he would argue this was achieved when playing for the U11's at the tender age of 9, however the more objective commentators at the Club claim they are still awaiting even the slightest glimpse.

Factfile:
Age - irrelevant.

Position - subject to change

Height - above average

Weight - below average

Signature Move - The Windmill

Most likely to be heard saying - "Miss one"

Least likely to be heard saying - "See you at training"

Strengths - Unknown

Weaknesses - Many

John Gleeson Member profile John Gleeson

I left Bennies in 2007 as a legend and I still am. The majority of the lads call me ‘Big Gleese’. This isn’t because I’m physically large but it’s for my outrageous banter, drinking capacity, larger than life personality, tallywhacker and the fact that I don’t need to sleep with a diaper like my older brother.

I don’t care much for Rugby but I do love a lash up with the boys so I put my body on the line when I’m called upon just to scrape in on the socials. I generally play at Hooker but I would love opportunity to try my skills out in the backs. I come down to support the team whenever I can but that's just to get my hands on a free meal ticket because Hank’s filthy, Polish sisters cook an outstanding (if a little oily) Pasta Bake…

Ben Horan Member profile Ben Horan
"Ben Horan doesn't go hunting, as that presupposes the possibility of failure. Ben Horan goes KILLING."

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.

Bruce Kirkcaldy Member profile Bruce Kirkcaldy
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.
Matthew Lee-Monteiro Member profile Matthew Lee-Monteiro

Like most front row, I reckon I can play anywhere, however this rarely if ever happens....
John-Ross  Mack Member profile John-Ross Mack
Play 9 / 2 / or 1.

British Citizen.

Nowhere near as hard as I look in this photo - I'm a big softie really.
All Day Musisi Member profile All Day Musisi
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.
Chris Norman Member profile - no photo available Chris Norman

Adam Smith Member profile Adam Smith
Legend.
Orson Stadler Member profile - no photo available Orson Stadler
I left St. Benedict's in 2008 having played in the backrow for the 2nd XV.
I attended Exeter University where I played Rugby League.
Charlie Stringer Member profile Charlie Stringer
Born Charles but generally refer to myself as Charlie - it's more laid back and I like to think it makes me more approachable. 

I have been assured i'm a late developer - so you'll better watch out, one day I shall have my revenge for the countless humiliations I have suffered.
Hugo Sutherland Member profile Hugo Sutherland
2005 leaver. Normally play at 9 or 7
Michael Wade Member profile Michael Wade
Wade Mk II.

Stronger, quicker, more intelligent, better looking and generally better put together than Mk I.

Looking to commit to a solid season with OPs.
Tom Wade Member profile Tom Wade
Going into my last year at Leeds University. Play at 10/Centre.
Alex Wightman Member profile Alex Wightman
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.
Mark Woolcott Member profile Mark Woolcott
Position: Second Row

Starting my 3rd season for the OPs, hopefully get some points this year.
