Alumni Return To Compete: The Former Pupil Sports Challenge

The day was a brilliant celebration of Albyn’s sporting spirit, bringing together pupils, staff, alumni, and families to honour the depth of talent, sportsmanship, and camaraderie that runs through our school community. With an electric atmosphere both on and off the field, our senior teams rose to the occasion and delivered outstanding performances across all three sports.

Hockey – 1st XI Claim a Narrow Victory
The girls’ 1st XI hockey team faced a determined FP side and produced a composed and disciplined performance to secure a hard-fought 1-0 win. A well-taken goal midway through the second half, combined with resolute defending, proved to be the difference in a tightly contested match played in great spirit.

Netball – Seniors Deliver a Commanding Display
The senior netball team controlled their match from the outset, displaying fast movement, slick passing, and excellent communication. Their dominant performance earned them a convincing 31-12 victory. The game was a superb showcase of the strength and depth of netball at Albyn.

Football – Goals and Glory for the Pupils
In an entertaining and high-tempo match, Albyn’s senior boys’ football team triumphed 5-2 over the FPs. With clinical finishing and a strong team ethic, the pupils took control of the game and maintained their lead throughout. It was a fitting finale to a memorable day of sport.

A Clean Sweep for the School
With wins in all three fixtures, Albyn took home the FP Challenge Cup with a 3-0 overall result — a clean sweep that reflected both the talent and dedication of this year’s senior athletes.

Thanks and Looking Ahead
A heartfelt thank you goes to ASPA (Albyn School Parents’ Association) for their hospitality throughout the day. Their teas, coffees, and sweet treats were appreciated by players and spectators alike and added to the celebratory atmosphere.

Events like the FP Challenge Cup are a true testament to the Albyn spirit — connecting past and present through shared pride in sport, community, and friendship. Congratulations to all who took part for their efforts, energy, and enthusiasm.

Save the Date – FP Challenge 2026
Next year’s FP Challenge Cup will take place on Saturday 23rd August 2026. We would love to see as many FPs involved as possible — whether on the field or cheering from the side lines. Please save the date and join us for another great day of Albyn sport and connection.
