Over the years, the club has accomplished many hard fought victories and to this day we continue to do so, challenging our opponents in full force. We are an inclusive group; everyone trains together, plays together and socialises together. There are many opportunities at OBURL to repres

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.โ

Amazing shift from the lads on Wednesday in our 32-4 win over Brunel.
Also, especially well done to all the freshers playing their first game of rugby league.
Onto Cambridge next week, let's keep this momentum.

It is with great sadness that we say farewell to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who has died at the unbelievable age of 96.
Her services to this country are beyond extraordinary and will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace.

2021/22 Season Review
What an incredible year weโve had!
The aftermath of COVID-19 took its toll on our club as recruitment proved to be a large issue. On top of this, after many of the boys graduating in 2020, the 2021 season started with very few numbers (not enough to field a 9โs team, let alone the weekly 13 aside team!).
However, after a monstrous recruitment effort, we managed to gather a far larger squad of keen lads, many of whom had never played rugby league before.
This was not an issue.
Come rain or come shine, the boys honed in on their skills, driving OBURL to many hard-fought victories.
We finished a close 3rd in the league and triumphed on Varsity against Reading, beating them 40-28. We also had many talented players represent the England South Eastern Universities team and the England Southern Universities team.
Our achievements this season have been remarkable and have exceeded expectations, considering we lacked in numbers and experience at the very beginning of the season.
As for the upcoming season, we start with more players, all with at least a yearโs experience under their belts. We fully intend to do even better this year, and continue our unbeaten record at Varsity in spring.
Thank you to all our wonderful, loyal supporters who are there week in, week out, screaming for us on the sidelines - we canโt wait to impress you next year with more victories! But also, best of luck to all the now Old-Bulls who graduated this year. You would not believe the impact youโve had on the club and all the lads wish you great success.
Lots of love,
The Bulls ๐๐
