Touch rugby tournament
This year’ s tournament brought back leavers across 18 years to compete against each other for the annual OS bragging rights.
The event is always a fantastic occasion, giving leavers the chance to dust off their old jerseys and roll back the years together on the field, sharing memories over post-match tea in the Dining Hall and watching the school 1st XV play a fixture in the afternoon.
On the field, the heavy precipitation that had fallen on Duke’ s Meadow in the lead up made for tricky conditions for running rugby. This played into the hands of the veteran 2006 leavers, offsetting the pace advantage of their younger and fitter opposition. In the end, their experience told as they surprised even themselves to claim the trophy undefeated, much to the bemusement of their OS peers.
The tournament was played in fantastic spirits and is one of the cornerstones of OS rugby, which goes from strength to strength, with many attendees also participating in this year’ s OS rugby tour to Verona in the summer.
Many thanks to the school for all their hard work and hospitality to put on such a great event enjoyed by all.

SAILING Cornah Cup 2025
The third Cornah Cup event was the windiest yet, with Old Sennockians and students enjoying an afternoon of spirited competition at Bough Beech Sailing Club, racing for the 2025 cup. The day was a great success, featuring lively racing and particularly strong performances from the student teams.
Ali Macun( OS 2022) gave a vote of thanks from the alumni:‘ The 2025 Cornah Cup was a magnificent occasion for OS to be soundly beaten by the school’ s young talent. I would like to thank all Sevenoaks sailing staff, especially Rich Sheridan, for running the event and for building such a strong sailing team.’
