Queen’s
Challenge
Cup
The netball team had a solid outing. Excellent shooting from both OCdts Slater and Lee led the way to victory 3 victories in the morning with staggering wins of 20-0 against Queens and 14-0 against Southampton. The next match led to a draw against East Midlands, putting them through to the semi-final, which they unfortunately lost. Their final match saw them play East Midlands again. The team gave it their all leading to a 15-13 win, to secure 3rd place.
The rugby team built on a solid performance from last year with many OCdts running in the tries which were consolidated by the accurate boot of JUO McLean. With a strong win over Manchester, a draw with Southampton and a loss to East Midlands, we were unlucky to miss out on the playoffs by 2 tries.
The football team won one out of
the four fixtures. Despite playing well, they were unlucky to come out second best in two of the hard-fought losses. OCdt Bunyan had an excellent day, his performances stood out in midfield and he scored a great goal.
The hockey team put in a fine performance. They won their first match against Manchester with a top-class goal from OCdt Ralph. After lunch, came a series of 3 back-to-back games that started with a loss to Queens. The next match saw a 6-0 victory to Cambridge, with a hat trick scored by JUO White. Finally, we drew against East Midlands to see us lose out on the playoffs by just 2 goals.
The orienteering team put in a strong performance coming in 5th on an 8km course around Sandhurst and a sprint maze at the finish. The team finished strongly clocking a time of 1 hour 15 minutes.
Cambridge had a competitive Old College Dash team coming in 4th as well as putting in a solid performance in the tug of war.
