The 2013 OGS Netball season is off to a flying start, with over 50 girls in the navy and white, including five teams playing in the Albert Park indoor competition (three teams on Wednesday nights and two teams on Thursday nights). OGS Green has had a great start to the season, with captain Luci Kininmonth (He’11) leading a team of fresh OGG talent. OGS Navy has won its first few games, with faithful OGS players Sarah Henderson (GC’08) and Ella Mackay (He’08) back for yet another season. There are still spots available if you are interested in playing. Please contact Bella Anderson at bella@ murrnong.com.au
2012/13 was an exciting season for the Old Geelong Cricket Club with the inclusion of a second XI. The firsts got off to a flyer, wining seven of the first 10 matches, but unfortunately slipped down the ladder towards the end of the season and again just missed out on the finals. Our seconds were competitive in Division 2, albeit a little luckless; making more than 190 runs in every match bar three but registering just one win. However, it was great to see the club grow, with Darren Edmunds (Fr’86), Rupert Imhoff (Cu’02), John McCarthy (Cu’02), Ben Harrison (A’02), Brett MacLean (Cu’02), Rupert Kemp (M’10), Hugh Whitehead (M’00), Tim Legoe (M’00), Sam Lucas (Cu’95) and Hugh McCarthy (Cu’00) all donning the whites for OGS. We were also lucky enough to welcome current students Joe Kemp (Yr12 M) and Jono Thomson (Yr11 A), who was joined by his father Rob as well as gun English import, current gappie Matt Shuttleworth, who averaged 194 with a top score of 97. Tim Bayles (FB’99) won his second Club Champion Award with 210 runs and 10 wickets, including a best return of 3-38, while Peter Lemon (FB’64) won the David Oman Best Clubman Award.
The Old Geelong Grammarians reclaimed the coveted OGG v OGC Golf Day trophy at Barwon Heads Golf Club on Friday 15 March. It was a fantastic win, with the OGGs shading the Collegians 2.205 to 2.956 on average scores. The OGGs have now won the day nine times, Collegians 19 – so we still have a bit of catching up to do. The individual winner was Phil de Fégely (FB’78) with +5, which was a great score, whilst James Legoe (M’97) and Jon Malpas (Fr’97) won the pairs with + 11. The winner of the Longest Drive was William Reed (P’05). The overall field consisted of 64 Collegians and 62 OGGs. Congratulations to Simon Reed (P’76) and Sandy Hutton (OGC) for organising another brilliant event.
SKI LODGE
The OGGs Ski Lodge at Mount Buller had its busiest season for many years in 2012. Extra funds allowed the club to accelerate planned upgrades to the lodge. The club is now aiming to grow its membership base, removing the joining fee for Old Geelong Grammarians, parents and staff – a saving of $2,500 – with annual fees of just $300.
