The Captain’s Cup is the oldest trophy presented by the college. It acknowl
edges, each year, an outstanding contribution to sport by
one of the graduating students. This year the recipient is a
young man who has been fully immersed in the sporting
life of Gonzaga since he first arrived. I am advised that he is
no mean rugby player and he has a serious reputation as a
footballer. However I am able to confirm that he is a truly
magnificent cricketer. For his dedication in all sports; his
commitment to his team mates and his always positive atti
tude, the Captain’s Cup for 2004 is awarded to Fergal
O’Rourke.

The Vice-Captain’s Cup or 6th Year Trophy has been presented annually since
1990 to a person who in the eyes of the Vice-Captain and
Captain, after consultation with the Headmaster, most rep
resents the ideal of a Gonzaga graduate. This year it is
awarded to a young man who during his years at Gonzaga
has involved himself in almost every aspect of school life -
except choir - which, I suppose, shows that he is not total
ly perfect. He is, however, a conscientious student, a com
mitted rugby player, a cunning cricketer and a man with a
real concern for the wellbeing of others both in his school
and in the greater community.
Tonight, we recognize these attributes in awarding the Vice-Captain’s Cup to
Kevin Feeney.

The Forum ’98 Medal is awarded annually for a contri
bution to the artistic life of the College. Over the past five
years it has been awarded to students whose work has been
in the plastic arts, in drama and in music.
This year it is again awarded for the plastic arts. Those of
you who attended sports day will, as usual, have been struck
by the stunning quality of the artwork of our students mar
