Yet this yearproved to break these previous misconceptions as, thanks to CaseyFloyd Green, we had a huge number of OA’s who had left more thanfive years ago, as well as those of us who left fairly recently. Having theexperience on the pitch certainly help boost our game; with those of uswho were younger providing relief for those tired legs, as well as a bitof flare.As we lined up at the beginning of the match, the OAs had a quietconfidence, with former GB players, Christina and Frances Houslop,and current South East and Sussex players, Olivia Bevan, AutumnBowden and Romy Threadgold. We knew the current 1st team, withmany crucial players missing, would have to bring their best in order tobeat us. As the game got underway both teams realised what acompetitive and vigorous match this was going to be. I can honestlysay that having played in the match, the score line exaggerates what aclose fought game this was.Laura Williams opened the scoring with Christina Houslop followingsoon after. This gave a half time score of 2-0, yet, not to be complacentthe OA’s put away a further 3 in the second half. These came fromOlivia Bevan, Christina Houslop and Autumn Bowden. On theoccasions that the 1st got into our half, the defence was solid andVanessa Swales proved impenetrable in goal. The final score was a 5-0win to the OAs, a lot of credit however should go to the 1st team,captained by Jennie Sloane, who were playing a very youthful side dueto the tactically planned biology trip. They never gave up and I stronglybelieve they have a promising season ahead of them. I look forward toplaying with a lot of them in the future years.Laura Dumeresque (09-11)OA Win 5-0 (scorers Laura Williams, Christina Houslop (2),Olivia Bevan and Autumn Bowden)Romy Threadgold 04-08Olivia Bevan 08-11Vanessa Swales (GK) 06-11Sidony Monks 01-08Amy Derby 09-11O.A.G.S GRAFTON MORRISH TROPHY 2011Competition for this trophy is held in regions in May / June each yearfor Old Boys and Girls of public schools in Great Britain.In 2011 about 115 schools entered for the qualifying rounds inseven regions. Ardingly, for the second year running, was one of 48schools to succeed and to play in the foursomes knockout rounds inOctober at Hunstanton and Brancaster in West Norfolk.Ardingly were drawn against Woodbridge in the first round butsadly, due to the late withdrawal of one of our team, we had toconcede one match at the start.The remainder of our team, Andrew Smith (Captain), SimonChapman, Neil Mather and Jake Oude, put up a spirited resistance atBrancaster. The strong winds made conditions on this fine links verydifficult. We halved one match and lost one and that ended ourchallenge, losing overall 2: ½.We have some fine golfers with single figure handicaps and oursuccess in the qualifying rounds could continue in the immediatefuture but we need some more of you to compete.Roger Munyard (JH&C 43-50)OLD ARDINIAN GOLFING SOCIETYCaptain: James Flecker (Headmaster 80-98)Secretary: Chris Greenacre (JH&F 53-62)We completed our 2011 season with the Guest Meeting atThe Berkshire on 27th July and the Captain’s Prize one at WaltonHeath on 22nd September.The results were:The Berkshire - Members• Winner and Lee Cup - Chris Abbott• Second - Gary HollowayWalton Heath - Members• Winner - Harry McGahanand Alec Bryant Cup• Second - Neil MatherGuests• First - Ray Logan(guest of Gary Holloway)• Second - Geoff Naylor(guest of Colin McBride)Guests• First - Carl RutherfordDates of 2012 meetingsWest Sussex GC Thursday 19th AprilPiltdown GC Friday 1st JuneThe Berkshire GC Wednesday 24th JulyWalton Heath GC Thursday 20th September (tbc)CALLING ALL GOLFERS!!If you are an OA currently at university or you have juststarted in your career and play golf to a good standard......THE O.A.G.S.

It is therefore fitting thatafter falling on hard times the rebirth of the club was signalled with a game against theschool team on 11th September 2011. This game was the first event of a planned annualmatch against the school in memory of Andrew Greves (D 58-62). Andrew was a fellowOA who spent years running and organising the football club for the benefit and joy ofmany school leavers. In recognition of Andrew’s dedication to Ardingly (he was also a formerPresident of the OAs) the match will be played for the Andrew Greves Trophy. The OASociety kindly provided the trophy and new kit for the occasion.Spurred on by the significance of the day and the opportunity to go down in history asthe first winners of the trophy, the inaugural match was a keenly fought contest betweentwo evenly matched sides. A good number of spectators turned out to watch the game andwere not disappointed as the game ebbed and flowed reaching a score line of 4-4 by thelast ten minutes of the game.Unfortunately just before the final whistle, disaster struck and Samuel Castle of the schoolteam was injured leading to the abandonment of the game. It was an unfortunate ending towhat had been a fantastic day and I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of thefootball club to wish Samuel a swift recovery.The first game of the Andrew Greves Trophy will therefore go down as a draw and thetwo teams will compete again next September to be the first winners.Thank you to all the supporters for taking the time to come down and watch the game -your support was very much appreciated, and a big thank you to the school for organisingand hosting the event.If you would be interested in playing in next years game or one of a number of friendlygames the club organises throughout the year, or if you are an aspiring Fabio Capello andwould like to help out with coaching or running the club please contact Patrick Griffin(pnogriffin@gmail.com) or Luke Hultquist (luke@hcfl.co.uk)The OAs need you! If you would like to know more about playing for anyof the OA teams, please contact the OA representative listed on the backcover. Players of all standards are welcome, especially those with young legs!11
