Festival of the Boot

WINTER SPORTS - OLD SCOTCH V'S CCGS OLD BOYS

SUNDAY, 14 AUGUST, 1.00PM KICK-OFF

CHRIST CHURCH PLAYING FIELDS - MT CLAREMONT

The countdown is well and truly on in the lead up to the 2nd Festival of the Boot.

Please join Old Scotch Collegians and the Scotch community as the OSC battles it out on the playing fields of this year's host, Christ Church Grammar School. Old Scotch will play Old Christ Church in Rugby, AFL, Soccer and Hockey, and we are more determined than ever to retain the much sought after Cup and maintain our inaugural Grand Slam Victory in all four winter codes.

Last year was a blast, for players and spectators alike. We'd love to see just as many Old Boys as possible come down to support our teams. Friends, parents, kids and dogs all welcome to this family-friendly afternoon. Once again, there will be guest commentators, great food trucks and coffee available for purchase (BYO allowed).

Last year we were bowled over by the fantastic attendance - particularly from our NOBS (New Old Boys). The atmosphere on the sidelines was fun and the trash-talk on the field funnier. Both alumni associations enjoyed talking through the "merits" of the other sides performance well into the night at the Claremont Yacht Club afterwards, which will again be the venue for the hydration and post-mortem session.

Which school will be triumphant and take home the Festival of the Boot trophy in 2016? Hope to see you there as we find out.
