OPMs made their annual visit to Windsor to compete in the Veterans tournament. Coach Howard Turner had put together a strong squad which included the likes of Giles Phillips, Phil Hague and Steve Luffman.

In the pool stages OPMs were drawn against Beaconsfield and Romford. Tries from Hague and Paul Gregg helped overcome a strong Beaconsfield side. However Romford were in a different league and won with something to spare (they went on to win the whole tournament)

In the semi-final of the plate competition OPMs faced Weybridge Vandals. It was a thrilling game with OPMs Richard Light prominent throughout. Tries from Luffman, Hague and Ben Passenger secured a victory and a final against Windsor.

The final was end to end stuff and going into the last play of the game OPMs held a two point lead however a careless knock on handed the ball to Windsor and after three phases of play they scored to snatch the trophy from OPMs grasp.

Coach Howard Turner 'We played some excellent running rugby throughout the afternoon and scored some excellent tries. The lads were a little down at the end but this was put right in the bar afterwards. We look forward to our next visit'
