The D’Abernon Cup

Encouragement of the game amongst Old Boys has taken the form of an annual competition. The D’Abernon Cup was presented by the Association’s first President, Viscount D’Abernon. In 1929, when Charterhouse were the winners, 15 schools entered and that number has gradually increased. Fourteen schools have been successful, the outstanding performance being that of UCS Old Boys who in 1968 won the competition for the twelfth successive year.

It is still a fiercely contested tournament and the knockout competition culminates in the final being played in September.
