Hockey Club
An OM mixed hockey team had a great afternoon playing back at the College during the annual Commemoration weekend. With over 16 players it was fabulous to see a mixture of old and new OMs.
Kinvara Clarke had a smashing first half, saving some great shots from the pupil team. Two stunning goals and great team play in the first two
quarters kept the OMs in the lead going into the second half. After two sneaky goals from the pupils, it was neck and neck and a tight finish, with the College managing to finish 3-2 up. It was a fun-filled afternoon and great to see old coach, Mark Moss, umpire and give a half time talk. It was as if the OMs had never left!

Netball Club
This year’s Commemoration in March saw a fantastic (and possibly record-breaking!) turnout, allowing the club to field two strong teams against College pupils.
The more seasoned OMs took on Malvern’s 2nd VII and delivered a confident performance, clinching a 38–24 victory. Special mention goes to Tanya James, whose presence helped tip the balance in our favour. Meanwhile, the under-30s faced a tough challenge against Malvern’s formidable 1st team. Despite a spirited effort and some excellent passages of play, they were ultimately outpaced, with the final score at 33–11. Both OM teams played with great enthusiasm and sportsmanship - truly ‘commem’dable’ efforts all round!
Looking ahead, the Club plans to revive the OM social netball team in London and form a mixed or women’s social team in Bristol. If you are interested in joining, please get in touch.
