OLs Under 9s maintained their recent good form, winning all three matches at a muddy Old Coventrians on Sunday. On a bright, sunny day - the first day of Summer - OLs mixed the starting line up as usual.

In game 1, OLs took some time to get to grips with OCs rucking and mauling, conceding a try early on. Kyriakos Grammatopoulos dotted down frm a maul to level at half time. OLS gained the upper hand in the second half; Alex Smith picked up a loose ball to score and George Hawkes scored a third as OLs won by 15 -5.

OLs made numerous changes to their line up and dominated match two from the first whistle with excellent tackling and rucking. Three tries were scored in each half (scorers - Jack Firth, Sennen Scobie (2), James McSharry and Kieran Brophy (2)) as OLs eased to a 30 - 0 victory.

The boys ignored the opportunity of an early lunch to play a third game.

Another feather in the cap of OLs junior teams! Under 16 prop Gregg Swinburn was picked to play in the Welsh Exiles team.

The Welsh Rugby Union runs a team known as the Welsh Exiles where those of Welsh Ancestry can be picked to play on behalf of the Exiles team, and where talent scouts try and identify potential in younger players, with a view to bringing them back into mainstream rugby in Wales, potentially even representing Wales at international level. Previous Exiles have included Tom Shanklin, and Colin Charvis  and Huw Bennett, well known names in International Rugby.

Gregg  Swinburn (known in the team as "Sherli" due to his long red hair) registered his ancestry with the WRU and got a surprise invite to come and play for them in late February. He was unequivocally shocked by the invite and spent the two weeks in the run up doing a bit more physical training! He met up with about 9 new team members to the Exiles core, and ended playing the second half as loosehead, his normal position.
