Ross [20] - Drybrook [17]

Ross-on-Wye faced Drybrook at Greytree Rugby Ground on Sunday, August 27th.

This match kicked off celebrations for the third day of Ollie Fest; a family-friendly music and rugby festival, held to honour the memory of a member of Ross Rugby Club, Ollie Floyd.

Just 20-years-old when he died in March 2015, Ollie was a popular member of the Rugby Club. Unsure of how to bring the community together, friends and relatives put together a free community event featuring live, local bands and several well-known headline acts, and a friendly rugby match.

Ollie was also connected to Drybrook Rugby Club, as he played for that team as a child, before changing to play for the Ross side as an adult.

On Sunday, spirits and temperatures were high. Ross scored three tries, but no conversions, and Drybrook scored three tries and one conversion.
