The 1st XI suffered a harsh 3 – 0 defeat against RHOBFC.

The 2nd XI were let down by Shaftesbury Town FC, who blew out the arranged friendly last night.

The 1st XI host RHOBFC in the League. 3pm KO at the Mayfield Stadium, CR7 6DN, Kick Off is at 3.00pm.

The 2nd XI have a Friendly against Shaftesbury Town FC,

The SEIL results were OR’s 6 – Ripley Village 5 and on Monday, OR’s 2 – AFC Cubo 4.

The 2nd and 3rd XI’s did not have fixtures.

The predominantly new and youthful 4th XI competed well with Chiddingfold FC’s Reserves. Great club, superb hosts and top hospitality. The Ruts eventually went down 5 – 0 in the blistering heat, although manager Graham ‘Boo-Boo’ Larcombe can take plenty of positives. Many thanks to Chiddingfold FC for hosting us.

The 1st XI play their first SEIL Fixtures since the 2009/10 Season.

On Saturday the 24th they host Ripley Village FC and on Bank Holiday Monday, they host AFC Cubo. All home fixtures will be played at AFC Croydon Athletic this Season.

The new look and very youthful 4th XI head to Chiddingfold FC for a friendly versus their Reserve side.

Best wishes to both teams.

So…… now we need your help to trace all of the attendees from the ‘Grim Reaper 1995 Tour’. Please help us to name & shame those who went in 1995!

All our ORAFC Football Members, both ‘Past and Present’, are most welcome to join us on the 2020 Tour. Sadly there are only Walking or Zimmer type Football options for many of us these days, although it is all about the participation!

Our New Chairman will be organising the Tour, and we’ll circulate his contact details in a controlled GDPR fashion in due course.
