All his good work was undone however, by the spectacular
bowling of a bespectacled young St Paul’s player – Daniel

At the end of 2019, Mr Smith retired as Head of Oswald House after
16 years in charge of the ‘Mighty Blue’. He took the reins, in February
2004, from Mr Seamus Young and within 2 years had brought the
Gahan Shield back to Oswald with the help of his House leader Adam
Tripp and fellow prefects, Mark Bull, David Hooker and Ben Herries.
Another victory immediately followed in 2007 but sadly no success
since then or in recent years.
Always passionate about Oswald and the boys within the house,
Murray would be seen out and about (rain, hail or shine), supporting
the Blue teams at all the House Sport competitions. He hands the
baton over to Mr Blair Adams as Oswald House Dean.
