Martyrs Reports

new Music School remains to be seen but generous or enterprising OSE are invited to come up with solutions. The final sport to be reported was Sailing with the MCR fielding a team against pupils and Old Radleians. The Warden (helm for the MCR boat) was sparing in his reporting about the standings against Radley but did much that those available might increase in numbers for future fixtures. Those interested in participating next year are urged to contact the OSE office. James Dubois (C, 1960-1964), newly appointed Squash Rep will be delighted to hear from you while the post of Martyrs Sailing Rep remains open – any offers.

The winning average score was 57 points for the OSE and pupils’ average score was 50.75. The competition is now named The David Pain Cup thanks to the generous donation of a commemorative trophy from the family of OSE Lt Cdr David P Pain (B, 1942-1945) a keen shooter, who died in September 2013. The trophy was duly awarded for the 3rd successive year to the Martyrs by Lt Cdr Pain’s daughter, Sophia Pain. If or where this fixture can happen next year when the site is flattened for the

Other activities were less weather dependent: Squash was only sparsely populated by OSE but it is hoped that this will be the start of a renaissance in OSE-School matches. A round of matches between Charlie Everett Harries-Jones (C, 2006-2011) and Jack Morland (C, 2008-2013), several School players and MCR, Alastair Cook and Andrea Antoniazzi was much enjoyed but no overall winner was recorded. In the shooting range – possibly for the last time – a full team of OSE took on a depleted School side as one team member was delayed waiting for the weather to allow a charity parachute jump while another found an unexpected clash.

Many thanks to Alastair Cook for organising the games and to Pamela and the School for the hospitality.
