Sports Dinner celebrates the sporting achievements of College members
St John's students, Fellows and staff take their sport very seriously. Every year a committee invites nominations for a range of Sports Prizes. The winners, nominees and all who take part in sport are celebrated at the annual Sports Dinner.
This year, sportsmen and sportswomen met in the President's Lodgings for drinks, before assembling in Hall for dinner. After dinner, the prizes were presented by Darryl Eales, Executive Chairman of Oxford United. The following prizes were awarded:
- Sportsman of the Year: Eoin Finnegan
