Doug Ferguson Memorial Cricket Match – A New Annual Tradition Begins
.png)
We are proud to launch the inaugural Doug Ferguson Memorial Cricket Match, a new annual event honouring the life and legacy of Doug Ferguson, former Director of Sport and Head of Cricket at Victoria College.
Doug was a much-loved teacher, mentor, and sportsman who inspired generations of students both on and off the field. This special day will bring together the Victoria College community—students, parents, Old Victorians, and staff—for a celebration of sport, friendship, and remembrance.
The event will feature a friendly match between the Victoria College First XI and the Old Victorians Team. We encourage all attendees to bring a blanket, enjoy a relaxed afternoon at College Field, and help make this event a meaningful celebration of Doug’s contribution to the College and island life.
