| OFGS Grafton Morrish Tournament 2011 |
Last Updated: Tuesday, 17 May 2011
|
The OFGS team played with St Lawrence at Knole Park Golf Club, Sevenoaks in the South East regional qualifying round on Saturday 14 May. The team of Gavin Cowell, Charlie Plunkett, Alex Cameron, Robin Anderton, Michael Spencer and Martin Lamb scored 73 points, only failing to qualify by 3 points for the knock out stages. The stars of the team, with an excellent score of 28 points, were Michael, a late call up, and Martin.
The format of scratch foursomes off the back tees on a testing course is quite a challenge and it is hoped that the OFGS will be able to put out a younger and stronger team next year and possibly repeat the success of qualifying in 2007.

| Inaugural OF Football Match |
Last Updated: Monday, 9 May 2011
|
 Teddy Harrington (S 05-10), one of our SOF Moreau Leaving Scholars, has once again demonstrated his energy and enthusiasm for organising sporting and social events. Towards the end of last year, he set up an OF Rugby event (Of Suffolk XV v OF Rest of the World XV) which gained huge support but sadly had to be cancelled because of the pre-Christmas ice and snow.
Undeterred, Teddy is now organising, and recruiting players and spectators for, an OF v OF football match (once again, Suffolk OFs v Rest of the World OFs), to be held at the College on Saturday 16th July 2011.
Latest Update: If you haven't already done so, please contact Teddy by 28th June if you're interested in playing or spectating. For contact details click on Read More.

On Thursday, 7th April we were drawn to play against Merchiston, a very strong Scottish school and three time past winners of the Cup, in the first round at Royal St George’s Golf Club, venue for this year’s Open Championship. It was always going to be a very tough match, particularly as Richard Graves, John Wybar and Patrick Spraggs were unavailable.

| Laura Wright stars at Carling Cup Final |
Last Updated: Monday, 28 February 2011

Ever eagle eyed Bob Williams (Hon OF) spotted that Laura Wright (M2002-08) sang the National Anthem solo before the start of the Carling Cup Final at Wembley on 27 February 2011, between Arsenal and Birmingham City. I can’t at the moment find any photos or video of this. This is a step up from singing in front of the Portman Road fans, which she has done on a number of occasions.

| Pickard – amazing artefact has come to light. |
Last Updated: Sunday, 20 February 2011

Hopefully most OFs have heard of the war time exploits of Group Captain Percy Pickard DSO** DFC (G26-32). If not, I would encourage you to click here to read all about him (it may take a little while to load as it’s a large file).
Adrian Orchard (G72-79) recently had Pickard’s nephew to stay and amongst other things, brought with him his uncle’s “in case of death” letter. It is an amazing and humbling document and sets out that he would like his son to also go to the College. Sadly this didn’t happen as his widow Dorothy and son Nicholas went to South Africa after the war. With his nephew’s kind permission you can read the letter in full by clicking here.
