A few weeks ago, OSC were auctioning some signed jerseys for this season’s charity – Ospreys in the Community and their partnership with Action for Children.
Our Chairman was VERY excited to be contacted by a certain Mrs J, enquiring whether we would like to have a few pieces of her husband’s training gear, to raise money for a charity of our choice. 😍
A rendezvous was arranged and the exchange was made. Four huge bags full of kit exchanged for the wide eyed wonderment and mild shock of our Chair, Grant Berni. 👀
The sizable haul, which he just about managed to squeeze into his car (among the usual bikes, guitars, OSC paraphernalia, etc) includes jackets, training shirts, shorts, training bags, socks and much more.
None of the pieces are signed, but they do come with a certificate of authenticity. ✅
We deliberated on how to use the kit to raise money for the charity and benefit children and young people from across the region, and it was decided that Ospreys supporters should have the first opportunity to buy these items for themselves.
So, pop along to The Riverside over the next couple of home games, where we will be displaying and selling all manner of Ospreys training gear, donated by the:
- World record holder for International caps
- Four times British and Irish Lions tourist
- Lions and Wales International Captain and
- Ospreys legend of legends…..
Only, Mr ALUN WYN JONES, himself! 😎
The sale will run from 6pm to 7.15pm and again, post match. Above is a selection of what will be on offer. There’s more. Much more! 😍
OSC would like to extend a huge ‘THANKYOU’ to Alun Wyn and Anwen for their outstanding generosity in arranging this and donating all the gear. A fantastic gesture which ensures that Ospreys supporters can get themselves an item to treasure from a true legend, whilst benefitting and supporting our youth.
Diolch yn fawr! 🖤

You have to go back to 2005 to when the Ospreys last played league rugby at the Gnoll, where they beat Edinburgh 29-12 to win the Celtic League title. Now we return to where we also played our first league game for the Pro14 game against the Cheetahs. Many supporters would have attended the recent Paul James Testimonial game and experienced a great atmosphere on a great playing surface.
We understand that there will be new bars built before the game (each side of the ground). There will also be additional toilet facilities brought in for the game to cope with demand (that may be exacerbated be the additional bar facilities).
The Wales v Barbarians game will be shown in the clubhouse before our game, so why not make a day of it and and enjoy the match with fellow Opsreys supporters.
As in previous years we will be meeting in The Great Western on Saturday for a few pre-match
f you are making the journey to Northampton on the 9th of December, the Ospreys Supporters Cub will be meeting in the Thomas A Becket pub located on St James Road and only a short walk from the ground. We have met up at this venue on previous trips to Northampton and have always enjoyed a warm welcome.



We’ve been in contact with Lyon’s supporters club
