This year Jeremy Lee (1948 - 1956) stepped down as President. His successor Bill Hudson (1955 - 1963), presented Jeremy with a gift during lunch thanking him for his long and successful presidency. The school provided a team who played alongside Senior Housemaster, Gavin Reynolds. Everyone was particularly delighted to see Peter Hudson (1955 - 1966) who had travelled all the way from Truro to play and support his brother.
OC Rugby In the shadow of the new Rugby scoreboard, the OC XV, captained by Matt St John (2005 - 2012) and Alex Lee (2000 - 2010), faced the Headmaster’s XV in a fast-paced and physical match. The OCs narrowly missed out on victory, with the School winning three points in the last few seconds of the game, the match ending with a 22-18 win to the School.
OC Tennis After a narrow victory last year, the OCs knew that they would not have an easy task playing against some of the best of the current Culford tennis players. Indeed, it was not to be a repeated victory, as the School eventually won, securing a total of eight matches to four. James Swanson, (2001 - 2008) captained the Old Culfordian team which included: Michael Day (2002 - 2009), James Elden (2004 -2011), Charlotte Harpur (2005 - 2012), Matt Hughes (2002 - 2012), Marco Mitev-Will (2006 - 2011), Amanda Shaw (1979 - 1985) and Paul Swanson (1996 - 2003).
OC Girls’ Hockey The girls’ team, captained by Emma Devlin (1999 - 2013) and Bex Selway (2006 2011), played a great game under the last of the summer sunshine. A good goal by Annie Osborn (2000 - 2010) still led to a final score of 7-1 to the School, not truly reflecting the effort put in by the OCs who kept competing right until the final whistle.
