WELCOME TO HAWKS’ CLUB
Hawks’ Club is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year and represents the best sportsmen at the University of Cambridge. Membership is by election only, and the usual criterion is that the candidate should have his Blue, Half-Blue or Second Team Colours, by taking part in the Varsity Match or Race against Oxford in his particular sport.
A full list of the University’s over 360 Olympians and 1,060 full internationals across 25 sports, many of whom were Members of Hawks’ can be seen here.
THE HAWKS’
CHARITABLE TRUST
The Trust was established in January 1996 with a relatively small endowment capital donated by some of the Members to provide grants to current Cambridge University students, male and female, whose sporting activities were being inhibited by financial constraints.

Start getting ready for an evening full of food, drink, music, inflatables and toma!
On a delightful summer’s evening at Queens & Robinson pitches, the Hawks Club cricket team experienced their first defeat of the season, at the hands of Jesus College. Jesus posted 154/8 from their 15 overs, whilst Hawks only managed to muster 99/7 in reply.![]()

Memorable moments included Nick ‘jazz hands’ Sweeney taking a remarkable one handed, diving catch off his own bowling (rumour has it he is still airborne). Also, shoutouts to Charles Norbury seeing off the new ball, whilst there was some decent ball striking from Tim Andrews and George Pugh.![]()

Both teams reconvened at the Clubhouse for some burgers, dippers and Harriers. The team is now looking forward to the remaining fixtures over the course of this term. GDBO
