Summer Half 2025

Ascension Day Wall Game

Heat and Dust

Unlike the muddy trench-slog of St Andrew's Day, this Ascension Day match was played out in such brilliant early-morning sunshine that the dust-clouds thrown up by the players' boots seemed to glitter in the warm air. What was lacking in terms of crowd support from the top of the Wall was made up for by the spiritedness of the players as they toiled in the energy-sapping heat. At the end, battle-honours were shared between College and Oppidans in a nil-all draw-- a fair reflection, it felt, of the overall run of play.

COLLEGE VICTORIOUS!!

Wall Game 2024

The pre-match build-up had seen both teams claiming supremacy, but in the end it was the players of the College Wall who stood up best to the muscular efforts of the Oppidans to dislodge them. With plenty of open play and more sightings of the actual ball than is often the case on St Andrew's Day, this was a proud victory for the ages.

JUnior TIES Football

Down to the Wire

This is a strong team, who always play with flair and commitment. Today they looked as convincing as ever, and scored a couple of excellent goals. Somehow, however, HWTA (Godolphin) rallied to level things in the second half. At 2-2, a thrilling match went to penalties, and - agonisingly - College were edged out at the last gasp.

College Lunch

Lunch in the grand setting of College Hall is always a convivial occasion; a chance to catch-up with friends, and to relax and re-fuel after the morning's Divs.

Gowning Ceremony

Following a centuries-old tradition, the new Provost swore in the new Collegers at the start of the Half, exhorting them in Latin to dedicate themselves to their studies and to the life of the school.

Football Friendlies

A promising start on College Field suggests that this year's F-block Collegers will have plenty to bring to the Junior Leagues party - not to mention House Ties - as the football season progresses.

Summer Half

Scenes from the end of the College year

Senior House Concert

An exceptional feast of musical delights - especially considering how much else these boys have lately had on their plates. C-block opened proceedings with a fine 10-piece ensemble, while the House Shout supplied a rousing finale in the shape of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now. In between came Bach, Dvorák, Chopin and Saint-Saëns, with especially fine piano performances from Jack van den Heuvel (Goldberg Variations) and Jonathan Zhao (Chopin Scherzo no. 2).

The end of an era for this multi-faceted, multi-talented group

Fourth of June 2024

The mixed weather failed to dampen spirits in the very convivial College marquee, where B-block were enjoying their very last Fourth of June at the start of their final week at Eton.

Leavers' Lunch

At 1pm precisely (well, or thereabouts), B-block (well, most of them) took to the gallery for one last time, to sing Rex Henricus for their families at the start of their final meal in College Hall. After a sumptuous buffet lunch, speeches followed, and - with the orchestral rehearsal looming - a hurried group photo in which almost everyone present managed both not to blink and to smile at the same time.

FIELD GAME

Senior Field Game

Not a victory against EJNR, perhaps, but an extremely spirited performance against stiff opposition, with some fine individual performances and tireless and united work from the College bully.

I have been trying to order some photographs, but have hit a technical snag.

There are thousands of photos on this site, and it can become clunky. If you are ordering more than one or two photos, you may find it simplest to order them from me directly at [email protected]. Keep a note of the image numbers you want, and I will do everything I can to help.

I don't know which print format/aspect ratio to choose for the various photos I have selected.

Please make a note of the i.d. numbers of the images you would like, and let me know by email at [email protected]

I can advise on which aspect ratio will best suit your chosen images, to avoid any clumsy cropping.

I want to order really quite a lot of photos, but this feels horribly expensive. What can you suggest?

Please contact me to discuss what you require, and I will do what I can to arrive at a price that suits both of us.

How do I order a package of photos from two different galleries? The website doesn't seem to let me.

Yes, this is frustrating. The best way to do it is to contact me directly, and let me know exactly which images you are after. I will create a package for you.
