Why We ♥ Otago
Celebrating Otago’s sports clubs
Keeping with the sporty theme of Your Story, we’ve unearthed some precious photos of Otago sports clubs across the decades – from the football team of 1886 and the cricket team and cycling club of 1897, through to mid-century mixed hockey and tramping, and some of our sports clubs today. Enjoy!
If you have any clubs and socs photos from your time at Otago we’d love to share them in future @Otago issues – send them to alumni@otago.ac.nz.
