Seated. Matthew Simmonds, Ali Muirhead, Ed Clarke, Tom Eaves, Sam Richards
The Old Boys made the perfect start to the day by winning the toss and deciding to bat first on a good track. Unfortunately things then started to go wrong, with wickets tumbling at regular intervals in the face of good consistent bowling from the school. Only Michael DuPlessis and Elliot Brown salvaged some pride for the OKs, with 38 and 39 runs respectively, and in the end they could only muster 175-9 in 40 overs. This was never likely to be enough and 1st XI captain, Daniel Newton, and Ed Hyde put on 167 for the first wicket, making victory for the school a formality. Newton was only denied his 4th century of the term by one of the most spectacular catches ever seen on the ground by Brown off the bowling of Tom Dugarin. What Ed Clarke was thinking when bringing Dugarin on to bowl nobody will ever know, but the result just demonstrated what a shrewd captain he had been for the school for the previous two years!
Overall, it was great to catch up with old faces and see glimpses of the talent and heart that served so many of the OKs in their time representing KCS cricket. Thanks should go to Tom Eaves for organising the Old Boys so well, but he should be warned that another 9 wicket loss and he will have to be dropped!

 The Old Boys played the School on Commemoration and Governors’ Day on 21 June 2008.
The result was 6-0 for the Old Boys, although the matches were all extremely competitive, very close and impressive to watch:
Blake Hutchins beat Joe Salisbury (rising star!) 6-3, 6-3
Criag Walker beat Josh Tingle (school captain) 7-6, 6-4
Andrew Blake beat Will Tingle 6-7, 6-3, 10-8
Rory Pullinger beat Jack O’Shea 6-4, 6-4
Doubles: Blake and Craig beat Josh and Joe 6-3, 6-3; Andrew and Rory beat Will and Jack 6-2, 6-4
Certainly the last 3 singles matches could have gone either way and the standard of tennis being played was extremely high. In the end, the cool and wise old heads knew how to finish the matches off in style!

 Commemoration and Governors’ Day on 21st June 2008 saw the annual fencing match against the School. The Old Boys fielded a strong Epee team of Tom Cadman (1998), Alp Orge (1995), Nick Perry (2002) and Luka Lukic (2006) who beat the School team by 8 bouts to 4 while Guy Woodward (2005) and Howard Rapley (1990) represented the Old Boys in a Sabre friendly. Howard Rapley’s participation was appreciated as he had flown over from Ireland to attend (and complain how Sabre technique had changed over the years!).
Next year’s match against the School will be on Saturday 20th June 2009. Old Boy fencers are encouraged to reserve this date in their calendars. The School Fencing Club continues to meet on Saturday mornings in the Sports Hall during term time and Old Boys are always welcome.
