Major Stanley
A household name in OURFC circles is that of Major R V Stanley, who was fondly known as "Uncle" amongst the players. He was a local man who took a great deal of interest in Oxford rugby, and through this became an England selector. He was a committed servant to the club, organising the 1894 Varsity match and fulfilling every possible role on the committee over a lengthy period spanning most of his life. As a tribute to his services, the Men's and Women's Blues still play against a Major Stanley Invitational XV every year in December.
This year's matches will take place on Wednesday 4th December. The Women's Blues will kick off against Major Stanley's XV at 11:30AM, and the Men's Blues' kick off will be at 3:45PM. Drinks will begin at 5:30PM in the Marquee, with an opportunity to meet our players.
Ticket prices are as follows:
Standing only entrance (No marquee entry): £7.50
East Stand seat (no marquee entry): £15
East Stand seat (Marquee entry): £40
(The West Stand is reserved for attendees of the Corporate Luncheon; see below for more information).
General entrance tickets are available here.
