Following the inaugural match in February 2025 at the Honorable Artillery Company (HAC) ground in London, the second edition moved much closer to Stevo’s home, the iconic Arms Park, Cardiff on Saturday 4th July 2026. A ‘shuffling of the pack’, on this occasion saw the Amman Valley Barbarians take on the HAC & Oxford Invitational XV in an exciting encounter and despite the 25-degree summer temperature, the Joint Invitational side secured a hard fought 36-34 victory over the Ba

Every year we say goodbye to some fantastic OURFC stalwarts, who have given a tremendous amount to the club.
