Congratulations to the St Hugh’s football players who won the 2026 Hassan’s Plate Final at Oxford City Stadium! The St Hugh’s and Wadham FC side stormed to a decisive 4-1 victory over Hertford College FC, concluding a successful season. The team was led by two co-captains from St Hugh’s, Thomas Fairbanks (Earth Sciences, 2024) and Raghu Krishnan (Archaeology and Anthropology, 2024).
The match proved to be a thoroughly exciting affair; after an early goal by Hertford, the St Hugh’s/Wadham side were trailing 1-0 for 70 minutes before scoring four goals in quick succession, including a hat-trick from co-captain, Thomas Fairbanks.
Raghu Krishnan said “It was a nice way to cap off a season where we have won the league for both the first and second team and our second team also won reserve cuppers, so all in all it’s been a very successful season.”
