Sport is an international unifier and force for good in the world. As part of its charitable objectives, The Haileybury Society supports a number of sports clubs run by Old Haileyburians.
OH Vets Rifles
The OH Vets Rifles team competes in the prestigious full-bore target rifle event The Public Schools’ Veterans’ Match at Bisley every July. The date coincides with the traditional Ashburton Day, now called the Youth Imperial Meeting, when the schools’ cadets compete. The OH shooters gather with other alumni teams from across the UK for an afternoon of shooting prowess in a convivial atmosphere, followed by supper.
Old Haileyburian Golfing Society (OHGS)
The OHGS is open to all OHs male and female golfers.
We play a variety Scratch and Handicap golf, so there is something for every golfing ability. The most important aspect to any golf meeting is the company and lunch!
Haileybury competes in the Halford Hewitt, Grafton Morrish and the Mellin Trophy each year.
The Haileybury Hermits
The Haileybury Hermits were formed shortly before the First World War to forge and maintain a link with the school and its old boys. The club has competed in the Cricketer Cup since 1968, its proudest moment coming when they reached the final in 1983.
The Hermits play a number of other fixtures a year including the Sandy Ross memorial 20/20 in August. OHs always wanted!
Old Haileyburian Rackets and Real Tennis Society (OHRS)
Rackets plays a significant role in the sporting life of Haileyburians.
The OH Rackets and Real Tennis Society keeps that bond alive, competing in many internationally-recognised competitions, such as the Noel Bruce Tournament, and enjoying an annual club dinner at Queen’s Club in London which is always well attended.
OH Vets Football Club (OHVFC)
The OH Vets Football Club plays its home matches on Quitchells.
This friendly club has seen recent success in the Derrick Moore Cup organised by the Arthurian League.
New members always welcome!
