Hedwig was more than an educator. He was a person who inspired a spirit of confidence and self-belief amongst In recent years the OBA, has, initiated by Shashi Lewis, my predecessor, ushered in a wide range of well organized events for Old Boys, using the sports platform. Enthusiastic Josephites, young and old, have turned out in their those with whom he interacted.

  • Of Women's Cricket
    Confronting the ‘whiteness’ of women’s cricket: Excavating Hidden Truths and Knowledge to make sense of non-white women’s experiences in cricket Introduction Many feminist scholars have noted that ‘sport history remains the history of man’s involvement in sport’ (Vertinsky, 1994: 1; Osborne and Skillen, 2010); yet the extent to which sports history - particularly British sports history - continues to privilege a history of ‘whiteness’ by failing to interrogate racist and gendered ideologies is even more troubling. The absence of documented research on women’s historical experiences in sport exposes both the masculinisation of the sport, as well as the maleness of this documented history. As van Ingen (2013: 106) states when investigating the history of women’s boxing: The lack of critical and nuanced historical inquiry on women’s boxing history is not solely the fault of poor historical sources. Rather, scholars have paid insufficient attention to how gender, racism, and white privilege have obscured various accounts of history within women’s boxing. However, the absence of historical research on non-white1 women is even more problematic, and more pervasive when it comes to the sport of cricket. Despite a wealth of research into ‘race’, racism and the imperial dimensions of cricket - to the extent that Jack Williams has stated that ‘[r]ace was at the heart of cricket throughout the twentieth century’ (Williams, 2001) - almost all of this literature has focused entirely on the men’s game. Experiences of female cricketers have either been sidelined or worse still, simply ignored. Indeed the whiteness and maleness of historical analyses of cricket in 20th-century Britain have formed the major rationale behind my own research.

  • Women's Cricket, Pioneers and Unsung Heroes
    Women’s Cricket, Pioneers and Unsung Heroes The important contribution made to women’s cricket by former students of Dartford College of Physical Education © The Ӧsterberg Collection Jane Claydon 2021 Unsung Heroes A great deal of publicity has been given to women’s cricket in the last decade and yet, some modern authors, in their histories of the game, have not included the names of many talented international cricketers with links to Dartford. Perhaps this is because the authors were not taught by members of staff trained at a Specialist College of Physical Education and are unaware of the heritage of Dartford, Bedford, Chelsea, Dunfermline and other later foundations. As a result, they have missed out on a rich history of women cricketers and administrators. I am sure Mary Duggan would be surprised to find that her lengthy and significant career is not highlighted in one recent publication. I have attempted to redress the balance and introduce the reader to many other players who trained at Dartford College. They may not be household names, but during their careers they influenced the development of the game for women and the outcome of many significant matches. Information about the history of women’s cricket is easy to find. Several books of interest have been published in the last half century. Perhaps, Nancy Joy’s Maiden Over, published in 1950, is overlooked by younger researchers, but it is a source of interesting details about the 1948/49 tour to Australia and New Zealand in which the author participated. The Cricket Archive can provide details of the performance of all England women cricketers, the WCA year books are available to view online and many of the players feature on the pages of Wikipedia.

Anton Tkac was in 1976 - 1978 in the former Czechoslovakia declared athlete of the year. From 2001 to 2011 he was president of the National Cyclists Committee (SCZ). From 2001 to 2008 he was a member of the Executive Committee of the Slovak Olympic Committee (SOV). The most successful Czechoslovak sprint cyclists was originally in sports school in the capital city Bratislava focused in athletics and mainly ran sprints. The 1 km fixed cycling came by accident when on borrowed bike he won the race in the recruitment city suburb. Sooner later he was recruited by Slovan Bratislava cycling club where he rode and trained on the track 1 km with a solid start. Despite severe injuries he soon convinced his abilities after winning numerous National Championships and in 1969 he was nominated for the World Championships, held in Brno. After achieving the eighth place at his first World Championship, it was very disappointing for him and the inherent stubbornness threw himself into hard training and preparing for another world championship.
