Playing career edit

International honours edit

Ossie Griffiths won 4 caps for Wales (RL) in 1935–1936 while at St. Helens.[1]

Championship final appearances edit

Ossie Griffiths played loose forward in Wigan's 15–3 victory over Salford in the Championship Final during the 1933–34 season at Wilderspool Stadium, Warrington on Saturday 28 April 1934.[3]

Note edit

"The British Rugby League Records Book" states that Ossie Griffiths won his Wales caps while at St. Helens 1935–1936. However, Ossie Griffiths left St. Helens for Halifax on 16 November 1935, and did not resign for St. Helens until 1 February 1938, consequently any cap(s) won after 16 November 1935, and before the end of 1936 would likely have been while at Halifax.
