OA Super Saturday: A Celebration of Sport and Reunions
The annual OA Super Saturday event once again brought together past and present athletes in a fantastic display of skill, camaraderie, and competitive spirit. From the rugby field to the hockey pitch, the netball court to the cross-country course, the day was filled with thrilling encounters that showcased the talent and determination of both the college’s current squads and the returning OA teams. Support from the whole school was impressive and cheering noise level loud!
Under a cold, dull sky with the ice crunching underfoot, the OAXC returned to the valley to take on the College team in a race over the infamous Senior A course - a setting steeped in tradition. Expertly timed by Mr MacDonald, Housemaster St Hugh's, the race was fiercely contested. Rory Smith (H09) led the OAXC to victory in a time of 26:52:07, followed closely by Rory Henderson (O01) in a time of 27:33:10 and Robert Rigby (T79) in 28:19:33, all showcasing the determination and camaraderie that define this cherished fixture.
