In cricket, Zen Malik made headlines with a maiden century in just his second First-Class appearance for Warwickshire, following a composed debut
against Yorkshire. Meanwhile, JT Langridge signed his first professional contract with Somerset County Cricket Club, and Tom Hilton joined Bath Rugby as a scholar, making his university debut alongside fellow OM Tom Hughes in the BUCS Super Rugby League.
Further afield, Mathias Waldschmitt qualified for the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, Hawaii,
completing the legendary 140.6-mile race in extreme conditions. Back in the UK, the annual Ledbury Run saw Rob Woods lead the OM pack on a wet and muddy course, joined by Hugo Douglas-Pennant , Tim Cozze-Young, Justin Major, and Kevin Stevenson.
Endurance was also on display in Scotland, where Philipp Studt completed the Cape Wrath Ultra - an
eight-day, 400km race through the rugged Highlands, all whilst carrying his own kit. Charlotte Hurst, a type 1 diabetic, placed second among women in the Shropshire Way 80K Ultra, proving that resilience and preparation can overcome any challenge.
In a moving tribute, Luke Tulacz, Billy Tulloch, Jock Catto and Josh Dickenson ran a marathon in memory of their friend
and OM, Josh Baker, raising over £12,000 for The Baker Foundation. Their route connected cricket clubs significant to Josh’s life, honouring his legacy and love for the game.
Josh White completed the Lisbon Marathon in under four hours, raising funds for Cancer Research UK, while George White tackled the Cotswold Way Ultramarathon in scorching heat this June to support the charity, Mind. On the football pitch, Will Hoyle, Chair of the Arthurian League and OMFC veteran, proudly represented England in the UEFA Regions Tournament in Finland.
