A valiant attempt to retain Henry Surtees Cup

On Saturday 29th March 2025, a gloriously sunny spring day, the OW 1st XI were in fine form and ready to retain the Henry Surtees Memorial Trophy which they won for the first time last year. The School 1st XI however had other ideas having put out a particularly strong team of players and an excellent goalie that the alumni team just could not infiltrate. It was a wonderful energetic game that resulted in a 3-0 win to the School. Head Master, Stuart McPherson, presented the cup back to the School Team Captain, R Von Spee, at the post-match tea in The Pitstop, named in Henry Surtees memory. We look forward to many of this year's school players joining the alumni team next year in an attempt to win back the cup!

The OW 1st XI Team consisted of: James Henwood B'07, Jack Jenkins C'07, Tom Taverner R'07, Tim Long B'11 (in goal), Theo Rivers F'11, Alex Blake B'11, Oli Fletcher C'14, Louis Payne B'14, Ollie Rivers F'14, Ollie Paisley C'19, Giulio Saletti R'22, Pietro Saletti R'24 and captained by Harry Woodman F'10.
