Sport at Ormond exists on many levels. The College fields teams in every sport for the intercollegiate competition (see below), and Ormond students also compete at intervarsity, national and international levels. Residents are also encouraged to try out for a sport which they have never played, and enjoy friendly intracollege sporting activities, organised by the Students’ Club.
In a large college, sport is one of the best ways to meet and make
friends with students from all year levels and across many disciplines.
All men’s sports are played for points which contribute to the winning
of the inter-collegiate sports trophy, the Cowan Cup, named after
RWT Cowan, a former Warden of Trinity College. It was first awarded
to Ormond in 1966.
Similarly, Ormond women compete for the intercollegiate sports trophy,
the Holmes Shield, which was first presented in 1964 in memory of
Keith Holmes. Both the Cowan Cup and the Holmes Shield are aggregate
trophies awarded to the College which accumulates the most points
throughout the sporting calendar.
