We have six more fixtures in the 2019 season and need extra players for three of them.

Please look at the details below and contact the Match Manager or me if you are able to play or want more information.

RESULT

31st August Match v Old Gregorians at New Zealand:

Ian Bendell led his team of Tom Sleater, Ben Robinson (OSGS debut), David Ewbank, Hugo Douglass, Charles Dimpfl and William Hill to a convincing 4-2 win over opposition who only fielded 6 players. Well done to Ian for getting a full team together and winning.

FIXTURES

11th September Match v The School at Stoke Park:

An afternoon match against the School courtesy of Chester King at the impressive Stoke Park. An encouragingly youthful team of Alex Saary, Ollie Clarke, James Nash, Hugo Douglass, Sol Boyd (OSGS debut) and Brennan Gough (OSGS debut) will provide stiff opposition for the School team. 

14th September Match v 2009 Leavers at Stowe: 2 more players needed

The Society has been challenged by the 2009 Leavers to a match at Stowe on Old Stoic Day when there are special reunions for those who left 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago. The challenge has been accepted and so far Hugo Douglass, Hannah Durden, Charles Dimpfl, Peter Simmons, Jaideep Gulab (OSGS debut) and Alim Jinnah (OSGS debut) are down to play but two more needed.
