OP TWISTERS
Manager :
Rob Alexander
Coach :
Pete Fisher
Captain :
Martin Borthwick
Vice Captain :
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...
Players
Bola Femi Adewale
Form is temporary. Class is permanent. Fitness is optional.
RASHEED ALAWIYE
' not as quick as I used to be ........'
Charlie Allum
Chris Allum
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.
Predee Anuvatnujotikul
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.
Schalk Blom
15 all the way!!! Only South African at the club!
James Booth
Hugo Clarke
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.
Edd Conway
Left Bennies in 2005. University of Bath graduate. Preferably 13. Can play 15, 12 and 10 if needed. Can kick at goal. General keeno for all things OP
Adam Dabrowski
Wing / Full Back
Matt Davis
Left St. Benedict's in 2007 and am currently at UCL, playing for OP's when ever possible. Play in the centres and backrow.
Jack Dever
like most people my age im 20...
also have a strong disliking of Ben Horan and everything that comes with him.
Matthew Dever
still at bennies untill the summer of 10, basically if haven't heard me or my brother am the better brother of the two, 6tf3 back, like matt banhana but can catch and not a fat basterd. all i want to achieve out of rugby is beer and the showers afterwards, whoop whoop!
mike dever
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
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.
Danny Farren
Alberto Furlan
1.75m by 71kg, played most of my rugby on the wing but can also slot in at 9 and 15 if need be. Found out about OPs through Ryan Ashlee
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.
Aristide Goualin
Robert Grant
Phil Harvey
Very old prop!
Andrew Haston
hooker/ flanker
left in '09
love the big hits!!
David Haston
Rob Haxby
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.
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.
Andrew Jack
Huw Jones

Sebastiano Oddi
Wing/ Fullback. Went to the Oratory but have been an Ealing lad for the last 23 years.
Brendan O'Reilly
Prop
Hamish Orr Ewing
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
Rob Reeves
Grew up in Harrow playing rugby as a scrum half at Sudbury Court, Ruislip, Ealing and Harrow before moving to the US. Upon returning, i am looking to get back into the game and get back into the swing of things.
Adam Smith
Legend.
Colin Stokes
Tom Wade
Going into my last year at Leeds University. Play at 10/Centre.
Joe Wellings
Sam Wellings
Center/Flanker kicks. I distrust camels, and anyone else who can go a week without a drink.
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.
Andrew Wilkie
front row... dont like running too much
David Wilkie
Last year at bennies, would like to say i can prop with my brother but im totally different:
