Goalkeeper Simon Bayliff made an instinctive
save and victory was in sight. To close it off,
Lachie Trentham [Hl 1997] converted our
own p-flick and the day was a resounding
success for the now weary ows: 5-2.
As ever Rob Easton has put in a request for
a special mention. Apparently he provided an
enormous amount of assists preferring to give
up his many self-made opportunities to score
for the sake of his usually less prolific peers.
Well done Rob for such sportsmanlike behaviour. Jerome Alexander [C 1993–1998]

he original plan was to
play College 2nds and 1sts
but with only one team
available from the pupils it
left the aged ows plenty
of reinforcements on the bench. In order to
stretch out the match and make the most of
our situation we played three thirds again which
seemed potentially in our favour given the
ows have been unbeaten in that format so far.
In the first third the ows started fresher
than a set of newly-starched linen. As has
been the case in the last few years we took an
early lead and held on to win the first period
3-0. Goals came from Tom Curry [S 1998],
Mac ‘The Poacher’ Nicoll [O 2002] and Will
Newland [Hn 2009].
So, 3-0 up we were heading into the middle
third when College came back to win the
period 2-1 with Maughan [C 2003] putting in
the only goal for the ows.
The final third saw more drama, not least
of all from Rob Easton’s [A 1995] dummy
aerial ball — what a dummy ! College clawed
another goal back to add to the pressure on
the fatigued ows. Then a foul was committed
right in front of goal by none other than
Ricky Page whose newly found commitment
to the ha Fair Play Award culminated in
him triggering only 86% of all whistle blows
on the day. A rumble around the umpire
ensued that El Hadji Diouf and Emmanuel
Adebayor would’ve been proud of. Not
even Jon White [S 1987 & CR] could do his
best from having a crack at the authority
figure that was our very own injured Hugo
Shephard who decided on a p-flick to College.
Despite the remonstrating the decision stood.
