Alex Wightman Member profile

Captain : 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 and taught Neil Back everything he knows.

Vice Captain : William Clarke

Play hooker/back row.
You'll never see a better sidestep in the front row. Apart from my brother, and matt champs, and maybe Keith Wood.
Ryan Ashlee Member profile Ryan Ashlee
naturally a tighthead prop, but can play anywhere in the front row when called upon. Having played rugby at St.Benedict's followed by Captaining the Westminster 1st XV several times over the last eleven years is now keen to make his mark upon the op team.

Matthew Doyle Member profile Matthew Doyle
Matthew "Doyley" 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.

Since leaving school, then university, then law college, Doyley continues to prove a burden upon his family and has refused to start work properly until 2011. In the meantime he is looking to expand his knowledge of Xbox and is plotting the downfall of his enemies within the club - (via the Dick of the Day jacket.)
James Duggan Member profile James Duggan
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.
Nicholas Farren Member profile Nicholas Farren
Left St. Benedicts in '99 played for Ealing for 5 years after univeristy, before having a season at imperial medics last season. Reforming the OPs with Colin Stokes after agreeing it very drunk on a stag do.... Unfit and pretty injury prone i feel a place in the club house is calling...
Stephen Finnegan Member profile - no photo available Stephen Finnegan
Getting old and fat and would quite fancy a couple of run outs in the back row somewhere

James Gill Member profile - no photo available James Gill
I am a 27yr old backrow / lock forward, I have played for a few sides now - Old Blues,Kings College Hospital, Nomads, Kilburn Cosmos, GWR so bit of a wanderer but living in Ealing now and looking to have a few more years of good rugby!
Huge fan of Dog the Bounty Hunter, german pornography and milk.
Love the social too and nothing I enjoy more than beering and touring / being arrested - should know better at my age but don't.
Joe Gleeson Member profile Joe Gleeson
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.
Fab Goualin Member profile - no photo available Fab Goualin
ridiculously cool
Adam Hanke Member profile 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. Fully recovered now, after loads of milk, the source of which you would have to ask Mrs. Gleeson, and ready to play as well as my steadily improving fitness will allow.

SImon  Hearn Member profile SImon Hearn
Left Bennies in 2006 as a 2nd XV player. Utility player when fit, normally there to make up the numbers. Best attribute of my game is the boot, but as a forward its rarely used. Love getting stuck in the rear of a ruck, or putting my hands in places i shouldn't. Aspire to become the George Best of Rugby, spending my money on booze, birds and fast cars, and then wasting the rest.
Eugene Hickey Member profile - no photo available Eugene Hickey
Preferably wing or full back, but has known to pop up in the centres from time to time. Doesn't mind filling in at second row either against pony oppostion.
Philip Hopley Member profile - no photo available Philip Hopley
Left in '84 and had a great crack playing OP rugby for a few years. Delighted to see the relaunch and hope to play while I still can.
Ben Horan Member profile Ben Horan
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.
