| Old Canfordians |
OCs from as early as 1957 and as recent at 2025 came to lunch to reminisce about rugby at Canford. Prior to lunch they were joined briefly by Tomas Roberts, Head of Rugby and Tony Diprose, Director of Sport and Wellbing along with some of the 1st XV and were able to chat with them prior to the big match. At 2.30pm the touch line was dotted with OCs, all keen to see how Canford shaped up against their old rivals, Sherborne. What a match! The first half ended 17-17 but the final whistle blew with Canford beating Sherborne 34-24.
It is hoped that an OC rugby reunion lunch will become an annual fixture and numbers will grow in the years to come.
