Winchester College triumph in The Halford Hewitt
We are extremely proud to announce that Winchester College are this year's Halford Hewitt winners, having last won 70 years ago! As the Golf Masters started across the pond the largest true amateur golf tournament in the world got underway at Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club.
 The winning Winchester College Team
64 Schools from across England and Scotland fielded 5 pairs of old boys. The Old Wykehamist team, represented by James Cameron (K, 2003-08), Claudio Consul (C, 2000-02), Mark Coulman (K,1977-82), Tom Hawkings,(G, 1976-81) Nick Holt (F,1993-98), Tim Lewis(F, 2003-08), Jack Keating (C 2009-14), Richard Sanders (K, 1984-89), Dino Varkey (D, 1994-99) and Jay Varkey (D, 1998-03) won through 5 rounds to face Ampleforth in the final on Sunday afternoon; duly dispatched by 4/1.
In winning, they lost only five games in 6 rounds, went down the 18th only twice and once only into extra holes.
The 2018 Belvidere Cup success
On Saturday 7 April at Queen Mary Reservoir, the OWSC team successfully defended the Belvidere Cup. The conditions were perfect for J80 match racing: a warm southerly F3/4 breeze and broken sunshine. Winchester won a Round Robin of 8 teams with a 7-0 score line, and then won the final 3-0 against Abingdon (the currently holders of the Arrow Trophy). It was generally acknowledged that we would not have had the stamina to manage an 11th race in the day, so a perfect record was important! Along the way we defeated the following schools: Abingdon, Uppingham, Wellington, Pangbourne, Radley, Charterhouse, Malvern.
The team was as follows: Alastair Hall (D, 95-00), Edward Knight (G, 98-03), James Markby (C, 93-98), Alastair Morley (B, 93-98). Winchester is now engraved on the trophy 4 times (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018) out of 4 attempts.
Memorial Services
A Service of Thanksgiving will be held for Hubert Doggart (E, 1938-43) in Chichester Cathedral on Friday 27th April at 2pm.
A Memorial Service will be held for Sir Martin Nourse (D, 1945-50) on Wednesday 9 May at 5pm at Lincoln's Inn.
