Vote count and AGM

14/6/2016

Comments

 
Friday night saw the staging of football's night of nights - the annual OUARFC vote count. Thanks to everyone who came out to the world renowned Oxford's Grill for the event, including those who called in from across the world for 7am Yellow Jersey challenges. 

For the first time in the club's history, there were both men's and women's medals to be awarded, and both proved to be thrillers. The men's count came down to the Varsity game. Charlie Rae took a large lead early in the season, but his midseason absence from the field opened the door for challengers. With Captain and club heel Kyle Turner taking a last minute lead with 2 well-deserved points in that match, Charlie Rae needed and took the final 3 points to secure a narrow victory. The women's count came down to the very last game of the season, where Rachel Paterson came out ahead of Caitlin Clunie-O'Connor by the slimmest of margins, after both polled in Amsterdam. A big thanks should go to Kyle for organising the evening.

​Prior to the vote count, a successful AGM was held at the Cape of Good Hope, producing a strong new committee:

President: Ollie Bartlett
Secretary: Alex Coccia

Treasurer: Ben Young
Women's captains: Genevieve Martin & Alexis Brown

Men's captain: Dan Tracey

Social Secs: Geoff Pascoe, Jack Valmadre

Sponsorship & Kit: Ell Neame

General committee: Fiona McLoughlin, Tayo Sanders

Congratulations to all. For the first time, the club has an all-non Australian executive - add to that a captain hailing from Sydney, and the Tabs will have to look hard for excuses next year.

It's been a very successful and often historic season.  All of the large committee, and many others, have been instrumental in making this the success it was. Thanks must go to the outgoing committee (President Eugene Duff, Secretary Ollie Bartlett, Treasurer Ewan Selkirk, Captains Rach Paterson and Kyle Turner, Social Secretary Alexis Brown and committee members Shaun Berry, Elliot Neame, Sam Calderwood and Geoff Pascoe) for all the work they've put in this year.
