Hampton School was once again honoured to host the Walter Bailey and Alex Green memorial matches, held in memory of former member of staff Walter Bailey, and pupil Alex Green OH (2014). 

The Walter Bailey Cup was contested between the Hampton Second XI, ESFA finalists, and the Old Hamptonians First XI, whose side  included several of the 2019 Under 18 ESFA School’s Trophy champions.

The Alex Green Cup was played for by Hampton’s Third XI and Old Hamptonians Second XI, whilst the Hampton Fourth XI entertained a third Old Hamptonians XI allowing more Hamptonians to opportunity to play. Across the three matches, close to fifty alumni represented the Old Hamptonians.

Though all three matches were competitive throughout, ultimately it was the Old Hamptonians who claimed a clean sweep. Players from both sides gathered afterwards in the Clubhouse for the trophy celebration and a touching speech from Andy White OH (2003), who himself was taught by Walter.

Now in its seventeenth year, we look forward to the event’s continued success next year.
