The OSPREYS

About the club

The ospreys is the society by and for Cambridge's elite sportswomen aimed at raising the profile of women's sport..

"All of our members are talented young ladies who work tirelessly on the pitch, as well as in the classroom." 

Perry Club is proud to be the provider of the official blazer for the Cambridge Ospreys.

 The flattering cut offers style and sophistication whilst multi-tonal braiding compliments a striking fuchsia crest.

The opportunities of the club run far beyond the hallowed halls of Cambridge and extend after graduation with an annual dinner or Alumnaue sports day to welcome back Old Cantrabrigians every Autumn. "We're talented, we're supportive, we're a light blue family"

Social Ospreys

The Ospreys hold a variety of social events and networking gatherings to connect and inspire.

What's next half and half club blazers?

If there is anything that can provokes emotion in club players it's the half and half shirts. 

With recent media boasting more of this rebellious trend, what is it about the shirt that is causing so much controversy?

 

Working with a number of passionate teams and clubs on the development of a sports blazer, it is easy to see how each individual member respects both the heritage and history of the club. Many supporters have followed the club from its original roots right up to present day. The loyalty and compassion felt for the clubs and it's players is the true driving force behind most if not all sports teams.

 

Many supporters feel that the "half and half" shirt is quite a slap in the face.  It makes a mockery out of the foundations behind the origin of team sports, where one would choose to cheer on a chosen side. It also takes away from the true value of wearing teams colour, crests or emblems. There are many rituals that come into play when choosing a team. For some it is right of passage, standing beside a father, grandfather or brother all sporting their team shirts. For many it unities friends, families and societies together. The down side to this is of course it also sparks feuds and sometimes even violence, due to the pure passionate nature of the sport.

 

As the trend is predominantly catered towards the football sector, it is the fans of major clubs that are protesting against the alternative attire. The most controversial aspect of the design is that shirts are not being made by a company looking to make a quick profit from a debatable trend. They are "home-made"! Supporters are investing both time and money into producing these shirts and risking the backlash to do so.

 

Whilst it is plain to see why loyal supporters are finding the shirts hard to process. One can not help but feel there is more team spirit being promoted through these controversial shirts, than any other area of sport. The acknowledgement and appreciation for both teams is highlighted on this divided design. One would hope the shirts have been produced to bring a sense of unison to a rather violent sport, and not to cause intended aggravation to passionate supporters.

 



What are your thoughts on the "half and half" shirt?

Premiership goes global

 

 

London Irish VS Saracens



 

On the 12th March 2016 the first premiership game will be held over seas in the spectacular Red Bull Arena.

 

London Irish are set to play this exciting match against the Saracens in New York early next year.

 

This is a huge opportunity for not only the club but for premiership rugby as a whole. The sport is widely growing and becoming a popular team sport overseas. Having one of the biggest sporting cities playing host to this fixture, opens huge doors for the clubs and its fans. With a build up around St Patricks day London Irish will undoubtedly be looking to scout out a wider global fan base.

 

"This is an enormous opportunity for our club to gain exposure in one of the biggest sporting cities in the world," Exiles chief executive Bob Casey said.

 

Established in 1898, London Irish became a professional rugby club in 1996. There have been many developments over the years, including a move out to Madejski Stadium where London Irish now play all their home matches, and a move from the former spiritual home at The Avenue to the elite Hazelwood training facility which they now call home.

 

London Irish are one of only three sides to have beaten Saracens at Allianz Park in Premiership Rugby, the others are Northampton Saints (twice) and Exeter Chiefs.

 

Watch the video below for match highlights from past games between the two sides.

Oakham Rugby Club

 

 

 

 

 

Oakham Rugby Football Club was formed at a meeting called by several masters from Oakham School on January 19th 1923.

Headquarters were at the Crown Hotel and players changed in some farm buildings at Barleythorpe where bathing facilities were a cattle trough, 3 six foot tin baths and a boiler. Matches were played in a field at Barleythorpe.

First game in September 1923 was against a Stoneygate side, result Oakham 33, Stoneygate 0!

No games were played during the War years of 1939 to 1945 and during 1945 to 1950 Melton and Oakham players formed a combined team.
v Oakham resumed in September 1950 with headquarters at the Railway Inn in Station Road and played on the Old Agricultural Showground (opposite side of road to our present site).

Oakham fielded a 2nd XV for the first time in 1955.

The club moved to the present Agricultural Showground in 1966 and built their first Clubhouse at a cost of £1,700. An extension was added and improvements made in 1975 at a cost of £3,000.

The Mini section was formed in 1978 and has continued to grow to its present size of over 100 members.

A new Clubhouse and improved facilities opened in 1992.

The ladies section formed 1994/1995 and was promoted after a successful 1999/2000 season.

 

Recently the under 16's had a spectacular 43-3 win against Stamford, Well done lads! 

 

 

The club are also huge supporters of the England team and even though England are unfortunately out of RWC, Oakham show great pride and support for the players.

The Oakham blazer

Perry recently had the opportunity to work with the Oakham committee in the creation of a representative Club blazer. The chosen design featured black, gold and white stripes with a complimentary gold lining and embroidered crest.
