• Location: Doggart Pavilion & Witherden Field

About the Event

Join us for a brilliant day of rugby as Old Stortfordians take to the pitch once again. Whether you're playing, supporting, or reconnecting with teammates, this is set to be a standout fixture in the OS calendar.

At the conclusion of the match, we will proudly present the Billy Hookway Trophy to the winning team — a touching tribute donated by the Hookway family in memory of Billy Hookway (HH, 2000–02), a much-loved member of the legendary 2001 unbeaten 1st XV team and a cherished friend to many in the College community who sadly passed away in August 2020 at the age of just 36.
