secured a respectable mid-table finish, suggesting Queen’s have a solid platform from<br />
which to build. Thanks to outgoing players Eddie Tolmie, Henry Lewis, Ross Lawrence<br />
and Cai Richards for their years of service to the club; all will be missed. Thanks also<br />
to Martin Cross, Pete Southwell and Martin Edwards for their continued support. It’s<br />
been an honour to captain this club and I wish incoming captain Findlay Thompson all<br />
the best.<br />
QCWAFC<br />
Captain: Emily Jones<br />
This year, the women’s team a.k.a. ‘Eagles’ cemented their record as the most<br />
successful of <strong>The</strong> Queen’s <strong>College</strong> football clubs in recent years. <strong>The</strong> means may have<br />
been murky and the match-play lacking in elegance, but a season of determination,<br />
grit, and fun culminated in the Cuppers quarter-finals against arch rivals, Teddy Hall,<br />
in University Parks in February. In well-worn Eagles style a meticulous, neck-and-neck<br />
first half gave way to a second half trouncing that was hard to take after early glimmers<br />
of a semi-finals appearance. For a team who never quite managed to find time for<br />
training, by the season’s end a promising format had emerged consisting of our<br />
defensive trio – Flora Brown, Katherine de Jager and Lizzy Whitehouse – and midfield<br />
stars, Afra Sterne-Rodgers (incoming captain) and Louise James.<br />
Next year will therefore be a hugely exciting one for QCWAFC. We look forward to<br />
the much needed return of goalkeeper Marte van der Graaf and all-rounder Greta<br />
Thompson to the team.<br />
