Geoffrey Bolt (1923-2000)

Geoffrey Bolt as Master-in-Charge of Fives at Aldenham and latterly, Cranleigh, will be remembered as an outstanding coach. He brought out the maximum talent in his players to put Aldenham on the map by winning the Public Schools Competition five times between 1954 and 1961. He was also a member of the EFA Committee and a Jester, and a generous donation has been left for the benefit of both bodies.

One of the last links of the Old Citizens Fives Club from the post-war period has been lost with the passing of a past Chairman, Henry Hawken, known to some as Philip, but known to all his sporting friends as 'Floater'.

Tony Hughes (1938-1999) - A Fives Legend

Tony Hughes first came to notice in Eton Fives upon reaching the final of the Public Schools Competition in 1957 when he and fellow Edwardian, J. C. Green, lost to Aldenham (G. B. Vine andD. R. Barker). He was disheartened not to have won, but a quiet word from the stalwart Old Olavian, Doug Keeble - always a supporter at the various competition finals - inspired him to put this match behind him and come back the next year to win the Kinnaird Cup.

Tony Day (1932-1998)

It is sad to record the sudden death of Tony Day, who, for many years, was Master-in-Charge of Fives at Charterhouse. Sadly, too, his elder brother, Johnny, died only a few weeks later and they had been a regular pairing in the Kinnaird Cup.
