Annual OCs vs School Golf Match
The annual OCs vs School golf match took place yesterday, with 11 students, 6 teachers and 7 OCs enjoying a warm and challenging day on the course.
With groups playing varying numbers of holes, determining an overall winner proved difficult, but there were several standout performances. For the students, Meyer Summerfield (Year 8) scored 21 points from 11 holes, while Alice Rastvortseva (Year 9) achieved 16 points from 9 holes. Andrew Waters (EG 2018) led the OCs with 28 points from 14 holes, and Jack Flowers topped the teachers with 20 points from 11 holes.
Special recognition goes to the only group to complete the full 18 holes: Liam Moores (SG 2021), Sebby Weber (student) and Simon Edwards (teacher).
A successful and enjoyable day all round – well done to everyone involved.
