Our legacy
Built by members, for the whole community
OBS is a volunteer-run club where the same clubhouse serves a Saturday first XI, a Sunday mini-rugby session and a midweek back-to-hockey group. Everything we raise goes straight back into pitches, coaching and the next generation of players.
Whether you are chasing league honours or picking up a stick for the first time in twenty years, there is a side here for you.
