Sport

Merton sport has experienced something of a renaissance in recent years, experiencing successes in such diverse activities as dance-sport, cricket, pool, football, squash, croquet, and (of course) rowing.

AMALGAS

AMALGAS is a fund to help Merton and Mansfield sports clubs with their running costs. The committee meets once a term to deal with claims from sports clubs for essential expenses. Typical costs that can be claimed include cuppers entry fees, cost of essential equipment, referees fees etc. More info about what can be claimed and an application form is in the link below......

Clubs and Teams

Merton has teams for all the major (and a surprisingly large number of the minor) Oxford sports. In several sports we field joint teams with Mansfield college, but in the majority we field teams in our own right.
