On Saturday 11th January the OA team arrived at Ampleforth for the 34th OA race. Having lost to the 1st
VIII by one point in 2013, the OA team was keen to settle the score and take back the Corbould Cup. The
day presented excellent conditions for cross country with clear blue skies and no wind. The school had only
returned from the Michaelmas holiday six days previously, so had little time to train but in December it had
finished 3rd in the Stonyhurst Invitation Match.
There was a fast start and the OAs led from the gun. Oliver Brodrick-Ward led to T-Junction followed by
Robert Rigby and Rory Henderson. The course was a bit slower than previous years probably due to a gate
being positioned across the railway. Final positions were settled on Park House Hill. Individual Results
were: Robert Rigby (1st), Oliver Brodrick-Ward (2nd), Rory Henderson (3rd), Ben Guest (4th), Ed Brady
(5th), Rory Smith (9th), Hugh Sherbrooke (14th), Chris Copping (19th). The day was celebrated with a
wonderful dinner hosted by Fr Hugh in the Headmasters Dining Room. OA supporters on the day included
Fr Edward, Fr Francis, Fr Martin, Paul Moore, Peter Thomas and Richard Tams.
PREVIEW OF THE 2015 OA RACE
With a good sprinkling of new faces, a few old hands
and expected testing conditions underfoot, the outcome
of the 2015 race is difficult to predict. In the 35th OA
race, Ampleforth will be looking to narrow the gap
with the OAs (18 wins to 16) and prevent Robert
Rigby from winning this race for the third year
running. On this course, Ampleforth has won five
times in the last eleven years but an Ampleforth school
boy has not won the race since 2007 and that was Alex
Brazier who went on to secure four consecutive wins
as an old boy. Ampleforth boys have won the
individual race seventeen times in thirty four attempts
but history shows that a fast time is needed to win
against the old boys in January. Given that this year’s
race is at the end of January, it provides an Ampleforth
boy or girl with a better opportunity of winning.

Although the OA team is another year older and the ever-green Rigby is kicking on the heels of fifty five;
the team’s recent performance at the Alumni Race shows that they are the team to beat. Even though the
OAs came second to Sherborne, the team won the age categories for the v40s, v50s, v60s and Robert Rigby
won the Chataway Cup for the first placed v50. This was a difficult course which the OAs had prepared for.
Despite the muddy conditions which made the course slow, Hugh Sherbrooke managed to knock another 22
seconds off his personal best by clocking 38.40. Simon Martelli, Ed Sparrow, James Hughes and Damian
Bell ran convincingly for their first outing with the OAs and this bodes well for today’s race. On paper the
team has depth but its actual performance will depend upon which team members will make the trip to
Ampleforth.
At the 2014 Alumni Race, Stonyhurst came 7th however in 2013 Stonyhurst showed its true strength by
coming 4th, five points adrift of Ampleforth in 3rd. Stonyhurst’s prize runner is Brian Thursby-Pelham who
in the Alumni was placed one place behind Alex Brazier of Ampleforth and ran the 2014 London Marathon
in a time of 2 hours 35 minutes. He must surely be today’s favourite to win and possibly break the
Ampleforth course record? Other stalwarts include James De St John-Pryce who won against Ampleforth in
1995 and Hideo Takano who at the age of 48 has completed 132 marathons, hopefully not in preparation for
this race!
By all accounts Stonyhurst’s school team is strong; however history shows that Ampleforth’s course plays
to the advantage of the home side. This is probably due to the route which deceives runners into racing
towards T-Junction and so wasting valuable energy before the ascent of Park House Hill. The statistics are
telling; Stonyhurst has never won on Ampleforth’s course. The only boys from Stonyhurst to have won at
Ampleforth were O’Meara (1968) and A Symonds (1982). Can a runner from Stonyhurst be the first in
thirty three years to win at Ampleforth?
In summary, the OA team would appear to be narrow favourites, but as has been the case in the past, the
race often comes down to which team rise best to the occasion. On this basis, and with something to prove,
the other teams should push the OAs all the way. Of course we must not forget the ‘Yellow Jersey’ which is
awarded to the last OA finisher. The present holder is Chris Copping who took the vest from Peter Thomas
in 2014. Will Chris retain the vest? The destiny of victory is very much in the balance.
RACE COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course currently used for the OA Race was introduced in 2004 and is known as the Red Course. The
course starts from the beech tree at the end of the black track at the southern end of the Dallaglio Match
Ground and finishes in line with the flag pole by the 1 st XI cricket pavilion.
Referring to the map opposite, the race proceeds from the start to the finish via the following:
A – B – C – D – E – F - G – H – I – J – K – L – B - FINISH
(Course 4.8 miles)
The course features a number of prominent and well known Ampleforth landmarks. From the start at the
end of the Black Track the course follows the valley road south, past the rugby pitches and over Brook
Bridge to T-Junction (0.9 mile). T-Junction provides a good vantage point for spectators as the runners turn
towards Park House Hill.
At T-Junction the course takes a right hand turn to Park House Farm. Park House Hill is reached shortly
after (1.2 miles). Park House Hill is approximately 500 metres long and leads up onto an open farm field. It
is a decisive point in the race, it tests a runner’s climbing ability and can indicate who has enough strength
to win this race.
After Park House Hill the course passes Red Barn (no longer standing) and then turns immediately right
onto the Avenue. After 500 metres on the Avenue, the course takes an immediate left and descends towards
the Lakes. The track running past the Lakes is undulating in parts, it leads to the Lakes Gate (3.0 miles) and
out onto the road towards the Railway.
After 390 metres (before reaching Park House Farm) turn left onto a farm track and continue along this
track for a further 230 metres. At the end of this track turn right onto another track which is known as the
Railway. The Railway is 690 metres in length and is extremely muddy; sapping the strength from even the
toughest of competitors. The Railway may also include two farm gates for runners to climb across.
After exiting the small copse on The Railway turn left onto the valley road back towards the College. The
finish line is 1,360 metres along the road and finishes in line with the flagpole by the side of the 1st XI
cricket pavilion.

*2003: there were two OA races in 2003; the first was in March as the January date clashed with the County
Championships. A second race was held in September on a shortened course due to the effects of foot and
mouth.
*2008: Sedbergh and its Old Boys (OS) ran in a 4 way fixture to celebrate the 50th anniversary of cross
country versus Sedbergh. The OS team won the individual and team honours. Only the OA versus
Ampleforth result is shown above. Rob Hand won the race in a record time of 26.13. Simon Barnby came
second in a time of 26.38. It is worth highlighting the quality of this pace. In 2007, aged 17, whilst still a
schoolboy, Simon Barnby was the youngest and for his under 25 age category the quickest ever finisher of
the infamous 24 mile Yorkshire 3 Peaks Fell Race in a time of 3hrs8mins.
*2010: Ampleforth won by closing its team first.
FORTY NINE YEARS OF CROSS COUNTRY
When reading through the annuals of Ampleforth’s cross country it is common to
see footnotes of sickness, injuries and ‘DNFs’. Ailments and failure are part and
parcel of running in the north of England, in mid-winter, whilst wearing shorts
and a singlet vest. As schoolboys we may have complained about the weather, but
the weather was good preparation for the impressive courses we had to run. The
hardest course is certainly at Sedbergh which has one of the best environments to
run in; a complete cross-country course across the Howgill Fells. Stonyhurst has
fells but also the finest finishing straight; a long avenue leading past ornamental
ponds to the front of the Elizabethan house. Ampleforth has a variety of terrain
which tests a runner’s ability on the road, on the hills and across muddy terrain.
R. Grant, B. Finlow and D.
McKechnie (1975)
For many years there were no sporting fixtures of any type between Ampleforth and Stonyhurst due to a
disagreement regarding an lbw being incorrectly given during a cricket match. At some point reconciliation
was thankfully made and since 1967 there have been thirty-one cross country races between the two
colleges. 1967 also happens to be the first year that Ampleforth held a race against its old boys and so it
seems appropriate to hold the OA and Stonyhurst race together today.
1967 – 1977
From 1967 to 1977, races against Stonyhurst included Denstone College.
The first ever race was held at Stonyhurst on 11th February 1967 on a good
but difficult course of five and a half miles. Ampleforth found it a course on
which it was easy to get lost and so it was fortunate that O’Meara of
Stonyhurst led but unfortunately for Ampleforth he won by three minutes.
Despite getting lost Ampleforth packed well and won the race overall. The
following year the race was held at Ampleforth on a course which was
altered to take Lady Barnes’ Walk, Gilling playing fields and the middle Ampleforth finishing on the Avenue,
path around Temple Hill. O’Meara continued his winning form in an Stonyhurst (1967)
impressive time of 26.59, 1 minute and 14 seconds ahead of Ampleforth’s
captain; F. Friel. Ampleforth’s team were well packed and so won the race overall. During this period
Stonyhurst coached some of its strongest teams and produced two wins against Ampleforth, the most
competitive being in 1976 against a strong Ampleforth side which won eight out of nine races and came 3rd
in the Midland and Northern Championships (MNC). Overall the period 1967 to 1977 saw Ampleforth
achieve seven wins, Stonyhurst two and one race was cancelled.
1978 – 1992
Between 1978 and 1983 some races were cancelled and various changes were made to the format of the
fixture. From 1977 Denstone College chose to run in Ampleforth’s Worksop fixture and in 1979
Manchester Grammar School joined the race. From 1982 races between Ampleforth and Stonyhurst were
run solely on a head to head basis and this format has continued to today. Races were always held towards
the end of February, so in theory the teams were nearing their peak fitness for the season. This period saw
ten consecutive wins by Ampleforth and produced some of Ampleforth’s best ever results (1984, 1988 and
1992). There were a number of stand-out performances by Stonyhurst, one of which was by A. Symonds at
Ampleforth in 1982. The race followed Ampleforth’s second Shute and both D. Channer and M. Pike lost
their shoes on the Shute. Symonds won the race and in so doing was the first Stonyhurst boy to win at
Ampleforth since O’Meara in 1968.
Cross-country runners pride themselves on being unaffected by the weather and in 1990
this belief was put to the test as windstorm Vivian buffeted the UK. The race between
Ampleforth and Stonyhurst was held at Stonyhurst in atrocious conditions with driving
sleet and snow. The photograph to the right shows Ed Wilcox finishing with socks and
vest sodden and an inch of snow settling on his head. 1992 was one of Ampleforth’s
strongest years by coming 2nd in the MNC, winning its Invitational and winning six out
of seven races. However Stonyhurst managed to beat Ampleforth (its only win of this
period) in a very unpredictable but excitingly fought race. The race was held at
Stonyhurst on a new course with many steps and six hundred feet of climb over one and
a half miles of road. Unfortunately Tom Bedingfeld of Ampleforth lost a couple of
places when his shoe came off shortly before the finish. The final score was 38 – 40.
Ed Wilcox at
Stonyhurst (1990)
1993 – 2001
From 1993 to 2001 only four races took place and all of these were won by Ampleforth. Ampleforth’s
teams from this period were not as strong as those from the 1980s and unusually they failed to win the
Ampleforth Invitational. This period did however see a number of outstanding individual performances by
certain runners including many by Raoul Fraser. Raoul began running for the 1st VIII in 1995, aged 15 and
between 1995 and 1998 accumulated fifteen wins for the 1 st VIII (the most by an Ampleforth schoolboy).
He had an unbeaten record in the Invitational and in the Inter-House Competition and broke course records
at Ampleforth, Norwich and Stonyhurst. In Raoul’s final year he won the Stonyhurst race by 2 minutes 11
seconds.
2001 was Fr Edward Corbould’s last year as Ampleforth’s cross country master. He began taking cross
country in 1964 and in this time coached nearly 250 1st VIII runners and a similar number of 2nd VIII
runners. He introduced regular training, a wide racing programme and it was due to his passion for the sport
that cross country became one of the main sports at Ampleforth.
2002 – 2014
In 2002 David Willis became Ampleforth’s new cross country master. He introduced a two term running
programme which included endurance and speed work, participation in local fell races on top of the regular
Lent term inter-school racing schedule. David’s new training methods produced a series of excellent results
for Amplefoth especially in the MNC. Ampleforth won the MNC in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Ampleforth had only previously won this event once and that was in 1988.
In the last twelve years there have been five races between Ampleforth and Stonyhurst of which Ampleforth
has won four races and Stonyhurst has won one. 2004 saw an impressive win by Stonyhurst especially
considering that four of Ampleforth’s 1 st VIII represented North Yorkshire. Stonyhurst squeezed into the
first five positions and Ampleforth lost two runners to injury (Brazier and Hughes). H Sinapius became the
first runner from Stonyhurst to win against Ampleforth since de St John-Pryce in 1995.
Unlike athletics it is hard in cross country to compare sides from different years due to varying courses and
weather conditions. Looking at the scoring is one indicator and in a race with six scoring runners, twentyone is the lowest possible score. Ampleforth has won against Stonyhurst with a score of twenty-one on three
occasions: 2006, 2007 and 2008. By also considering Ampleforth’s results at the MNC, it can be argued that
these years produced the strongest Ampleforth teams.
