WE DID IT - WE CAN NOW BUILD THE NEW CHANGING ROOMS AND COMMUNITY HUB

We were hoping to start construction during April but the coronavirus outbreak has delayed this. We will let you know when we have a firm start date.

You will have noticed we have started to clear the area for the new changing rooms.

 

A presentation was given to Nigel Adams MP to explain OSCA's journey to date - see it here

We have approval to demolish the old OARLFC clubhouse and this will happen shortly.

The Pavilion - Building on Success


OSCA successfully completed the transfer of Forest Cottage. This means that OSCA is now in control of the buildings and four fields until the year 2143 - 125 years!!

The building and fields are secured for community use, to improve well-being and sports participation. It is now for us all to agree how to use the facilities

Contact Us if you have any ideas or want to get involved.


The grant application success from Football Foundation, Rugby League Football, Football Stadium Fund, National Spaccorts Centre Trust, Calderdale Community Foundation and Sports England to cover the cost of our development plans for Forest Cottage.

SESSIONS Under 8 and Under 11

Saturday mornings 10am – 11am on 3G and grass pitches

Rediscovered the joys of playing football again thanks to a slowed-down version of the game Walking football is designed as a new activity and making new friends for the 50+. Make it the highlight of the week...so on a crisp morning or even on a semi-frozen astro pitch or with the sun on your back - rub your hands together in anticipation of another kickabout - you will absolutely love it!!
