Reports and College Activities RUGBY CLUB Louis Simms, Captain As per usual for the regular league season, Queen’s holds a colourful record of victories and losses, mostly made up of the latter. With many matches played with three colleges making up two sides we managed remarkable consistency through the year: Mr Rowan-Hamilton threw up after matches almost without fail; Mr Cowen was late almost as much as he was unnecessarily penalised; Mr Kyd was more ghost than man (not because he was hard to tackle, but because he was simply only there in spirit); Mr Higdon returned as an Old Member, every week; Mr Kelly was simply very good at every step; Mr Fraiser injured more of our own than the opposition; Mr Butcher took the approach of a marathon runner and achieved a (consistent) six mph at almost every point in the match; Mr (sticky fingers) Turner caught all balls chucked his direction, and some that weren’t. Perhaps the only anomaly in the season was the presence of some new recruits, with standout ‘man of the match’ performances going to Mr Craven. All in all, we recorded some famous victories against Lincoln, Oriel (if Mr Kyd’s tries in their colours are counted as our own), and Wadham. However, in a pleasant turn of events, we were fortunate to compete for, and win, some silverware this season. The first came during cuppers, where we made a historic and gallant jog at the Bowl final, narrowly missing out in a tense final versus Christ Church. In characteristic fashion the score was 7-10 to Christ Church with eight minutes to go, the final score being 7-31. This gave us a valuable insight into what this team could really achieve, and went on to raise silverware at 7s cuppers. Joy of joys we heralded in the Queen’s of old, with performances on the day reminiscent of our 78-0 victory over Trinity (29/11/2012). I’m happy to say that such a successful season was tipped off with an equally successful tour to Ghent. With an historic victory over Ghent veterans, the difference in score was remarkably like the difference in average age, with a 20-points between the two teams. With just one loss in the group stages, Queen’s went on to (jointly) win the tournament with Wiveliscombe, a team who compete in south-west 1st division. Needless to say, the winnings were spent immediately at the tournament bar, converted into ‘Ghent-tokens’ which were useful for buying beer and chips, and that was all. Other extra-curricular victories go to Mr Fraiser for pizza (box) eating contest, Mr Richmond (import) for most pull-ups, Mr Cowen for turning the heating off the most, and there were also some stellar sock-off performances throughout. 62 The Queen’s College | College Record 2023
In what can only be described as a mixed bag season, I will look on with a fond gaze to see what this team of (average) athletes and academics can achieve in the coming season. What I can say with certainty is that it is left in good hands, with Dan Kelly having been effective captain of the side for more of this season than I.
