OPs Announce Second Pre Season Fixture

OPs Announce Second Pre Season Fixture

James Sarek5 Aug 2024 - 11:05

OPRFC to take on Wasps in mid August

Old Priorians have added a second pre-season fixture to their calendar, as they travel to Wasps FC on the 17th August, a 2.30pm kick off at Twyford Avenue.

Wasps currently compete in Counties 2 Herts/Middx (level 8), two divisions below OPRFC in Regional 2 Thames, finishing third in the table for the 2023/24 season. At 1st XV level, the two sides have met on four occasions in the past, although it is over eleven years since the last fixture - a 30-12 win for OPs in London 3 North West.

Similarly, the 2nd XVs have met four times too as recently as last season ; the Saints won the home fixture 70-19 - the third biggest win in their history - with Josh Chippendale equalling the club record of six tries in a match, while Wasps won the return leg 29-19, but were unable to stave off relegation from Middlesex Merit Table Division 1.

Twyford Avenue Sports Ground will be familiar territory, with OPs having ten of their matches moved to the venue across the course of the last campaign.

More information on the fixture closer to the time.
