For those of you not lucky enough to have attended or didn’t see the live streaming on facebook from the Ospreys, here’s the full video of the Q&A session we held with Andrew Millward, Brad Davies, Bradley Davies, Hugh Gufstafson and Rhodri Jones.

If you want to know about the Ospreys player development pathway to the elite squad or what’s really going on with the American investors, or, if you want to know how the new signings are fitting into every day life at the Ospreys, or what they think of their former colleagues, or even the players’ views on how much rugby they play in a season, its all in here PLUS much more.

We would like to thank the Pavilion, Llandarcy for hosting the event and to the Ospreys management and players involved this evening for their time and enthusiasm.

Home meet

grd_logo_unionbordeauxbeglesSo you are not one of the lucky ones going to support the lads away at Bordeaux and are wondering what shall I do and where shall I watch the game.  You are probably thinking I don’t have Sky or wouldn’t it be great to watch with a bunch of other supporters.

Well now if you don’t have Sky you can watch the game with like-minded supporters as we have teamed up with The Pavilion (click here to view their website) who will be showing all European Rugby Champions Cup away games for us.

This is a great venue, situated halfway between Neath and Swansea. It has plenty of parking if you wish to drive or if not you can get a train to Neath and taxi over for around £5.

EPRCIt has everything you need, it is family friendly has several screens to watch the game, fabulous food and of course a well-stocked bar and as an added bonus all season ticket members will receive 10% discount on their food bill (drinks excluded), so ensure you take your season ticket with you.

So if you fancy coming along please let us know by emailing annette@ospreyssupportersclub.com with your name and number in the party.

We will require confirmation no later than 15th December so we can book the required space for all.

Ospreys BLK Kit Launch at the Liberty Stadium

2015 Kit Launch Shirts

 

Ospreys fans gathered at the Liberty stadium to see the players hit the catwalk for the launch of the 2015/16 Kit.

2015 Kit Launch Oh Dear GodIt looks like BLK have hit the mark this year as a select few hit the catwalk, supported by the relieved bulk of the squad who watched alongside supporters from the back of the huge marquee erected for the event.  It’s fair to say that whilst some may have been slightly shy, Matthew Dwyer strutted and vogued in style, much to the surprise of nobody.

Before the launch, the squad played tennis & cricket with some of the younger element of the crowd & the OSC helped host the Ospreys Wheel of Fortune. The main event was hosted by Kevin Johns, entertaining supporters in style as some lucky younger Ospreys fans accompanied players down the catwalk.

The home shirt, modeled by Lloyd Laura Ashley and Dan Pouting Evans sees a return to black which went down very well with the crowd – after all #ourbloodisblack.

After the shirt launch, the club shop was swamped with supporters keen to sort the latest in Ospreylian fashion.  Players hung about in the marquee and shop giving fans the opportunity to collect autographs and pictures.

Here’s some pictures from the day and also the Ospreys ‘behind the scenes’ video.  For more pictures, have a look on our facebook page and the Ospreys website and shop.

Now all we need is some more rugby action!

Matavesi XV v Camborne RFC Charity Day

Posted by Grant Berni (OSC) on 14th June 2015
Posted in: EVENTS.

Matavesi XV cheque presentationA few of the OSC made the long journey to Camborne to support a fundraising day organised by Sireli Matavesi’s family.  It gave our chairman, Nigel Jones the opportunity to present a cheque for £400 to Josh & his brothers.

We would like to thank the Ospreys and Glasgow Warriors supporters who bought tickets for the charity raffle carried out in the Riverside Bar after our last home game of the season.

Details of the event can be found at the Matavesi XV v Camborne RFC facebook page. Further details of the day can be found on the Cornish Rugby Updates facebook photo album.

The game also remembered the sad passing of the great Jerry Collins & his wife Alana Madill.

A minute’s silence was held before kickoff and a few travelling Ospreys supporters showed their respect by wearing Ospreys shirts from JC’s time with the team marked “COLLINS 6”.

Fly your flag to show your support on Saturday

Posted by Grant Berni (OSC) on 21st October 2014
Posted in: EVENTS, TRAVEL. Leave a Comment

If you’re travelling to Northampton on Saturday and are in possession of an Ospreys flag (small, poled or large) then we would LOVE it if you could bring them to the match!
It has been brought to our attention that the boys sometimes find it difficult to spot us in away grounds as black tends to blend in! We all know that we travel in great numbers, and we really want to show the boys how many have travelled to back them in this massive European game.
So when the boys take to the field on Saturday, let’s wave our flags with pride.
