Spring Sports Day
The Martyrs enjoyed two competitive
and thoroughly entertaining fixtures in
the traditional fixtures against the School.
Moments of individual brilliance from

George
Creed
(G, 2005-2010) and current Welsh
International
Rupert Shipperley
(H,
2006-2011) helped the Martyrs ‘A’ XI to an
excellent 6-5 victory against a strong School
1st XI. Whilst the Martyrs ‘B’ XI enjoyed a
high scoring draw vs. the School 2nd XI.

Creed,

Autumn Sports Day
A thrilling 5-5 draw seemed a fitting conclusion
to the hotly contested annual Martyrs vs Old
Dragons fixture. In bright September sunshine,
the ODs burst into a strong lead before half
time, with a trio of Creeds (
Alec
(G, 2002-
2007),
George
(G, 2005-2010) and
Freddie
(G, 2009-2014)) pulling the strings impressively
from the midfield. The Martyrs were, perhaps
predictably, slow to get into their stride.
When they eventually did, the experience of
Peter Pitt-Brown
, as well as the youthful
exuberance of
Feroz Baig
(H, 2009-2014),
Miles Hammond
(H, 2009-2014) and
Jack
Power
(H, 2011-2016), provided enough late
fire power to draw the Martyrs level with the
final play of the game! Special mention must
go to current pupil Tanaka Chitsenga (A,
U6th) who gave a formidable performance
in (both!) goals.
Haileybury ‘Sixes’
Unfortunately, the Martyrs were unable to
retain the prestigious Haileybury Sixes title for
a third consecutive year, thus politely allowing
another alumni side to win the trophy for the
first time in four years! The squad of
Will
Kerr-Dineen
,
Harry McHugh
(E, 2004-
2009),
George Creed
,
Jasper Joyce
,
Gero
Traem
(A, 2012-2014),
Miles Hammond
,
Calvin Dickinson
and
Charlie Shipperley
(who had literally just stepped off a plane
from Sydney the day before!), all ably led by
Andrew Baggs
(A, 2001-2006), drew with
Clifton (1-1), then lost to Aldenham (1-0) and
Tonbridge (2-1) before beating Haileybury (3-
0) to finish 3rd in their pool and therefore just
miss out on a semi-final spot. Beating Felsted
(3-1) in the 5/6th play-off the Martyrs finished
a respectable 5th, leaving them hungry to
reclaim their title in 2017!
