North Oxford Go Coast to Coast
13/06/16: The Fives players of North Oxford EFC have a reputation in the world of Eton Fives for taking on daft challenges. Previous follies have included playing all three codes of Fives - Rugby, Eton and Winchester - on their home courts in the same day and playing twelve games on twelve different sets of courts in one day in a loop from Oxford to London and back. This year's adventure was a weekend "Coast to Coast" tour, which started in Colwyn Bay on Saturday morning and finished in Ipswich on Sunday evening, playing games on the most westerly and most easterly (well, nearly) Eton Fives courts in the UK, stopping of course for a game on each set of courts passed on the way.
