A
nother frenetic season
came to a close with the
owrfc managing a strong
5th placed league standing
in London South West
3. The season was, as ever, galvanised by an
unerring ow team ethos and some fantastic
individual performances. Notable debuts for
the club this season came from Alex Seward
[T 2005–2010], Liam Hanna [Hl 2005–2010],
Freddy Ward [Hl 2005–2010] and Nik Salmon
[Bd 2005–2010] brother of Kris [Bd 2003–
2008] continuing the Salmon family tradition
as their father Hugh was involved in founding
the club in 1995.
The Squad played with an attacking
enthusiasm matched by a steely defence that
generated 15 bonus points this season. We
plied our trade across this ‘green and pleasant
land’ travelling locally to nearby Wimbledon
and as far afield as the Isle of Wight.
We continued to frustrate various semiprofessional clubs and this was epitomised
by taking a try bonus point loss against
Teddington, a team that swept our league and
continued on a 58+ game unbeaten record.
The club are as ever in debt to our continued
association with sponsors Canmoor and Jules
Benkert [L 1981–1986], tireless support
from Andrew Robertson [Pn 1999–2004], his
father ‘jr’ with fixtures/player administration,
Chairman James Britton [A 1982–1987] and
Treasurer Chris Crawford [C 1982–1987].
Congratulations to Dan Cervino [Pn
2001–2006], Sam Stitcher [Hg 2000–2005],
Tom Loizides [Bn 2001–2006] and Sam
Edgerley [Bd 2005–2010], (Player of the
Tournament), for helping Esher rfc to the
final of the Middlesex Sevens in July and to
James Dennis [O 2001–2006], (captain of
Durham University), and Joe MacManus [Hn
2003–2008], (Olorun Sharks), for making it
six ows in the event.
We rely on attracting more players and we
are always on the look out for players to add
to our squad pool so if you have any interest
