Who are the 1st Flotilla Overton Midget Submarine Corp (OMSC)?

 

For the young ‘touring’ players we have formed the 1st Flotilla Overton Midget Submarine Corp as a result of collaboration between The Overton Underground Camel cCorp. (the veterans touring team) and Neuvic Rugby Club (Dordogne France). Back in Easter 2001 our visitors from France were so impressed at the standard of Rugby played at Overton that they invited the minis to visit Dordogne the following year, there began the OMSC, Easter 2002 . Below are the Original OMSC Teams.

"Former Head of RFU Joins ORFC Midget Submarine Corp"

I am extremely pleased to announce that the former president of the RFU, Mr. Leroy Angel has accepted the position of Honourary Commander of the Fleet (Overton Midget Submarine Corp).

Mr. Angel, already a member of the Camel Corp, will take up the position from the start of the 2006-2007 season said, "I am extremely pleased to take up this position on the condition that I don't have to play as I believe the players would show me up!"

Leroy played in Winchester's first XV for some 600 appearances until retiring with a knee injury aged 33, and was club captain from 1973 to 1975. He also played county rugby for Hampshire, the first County Championship match being against Sussex in 1968, which Hampshire won, and the last against Eastern Counties in 1976, which Hampshire lost. With 26 caps, he became the most capped Hampshire three quarter since World War II.
