GENERAL INTEREST
CO’s Cup 2021 RAF Odiham PEd Flt would like to thank everyone who took part in CO’s Cup 2021. Thanks to great participation, we were able to host some fantastic events and set up an exciting competition throughout the calendar year.

fter months of COVID related disruption, the year started with a bang. Some of the worst rainfall of the year did not stop over 80 people turning up to represent their sections and wings in an Ultimate Frisbee competition. A fantastic spectacle ended with a spectacular finish as 27 Sqn beat BSW in a close final to take the event win. Next up came ‘it’s a knockout’, the annual summer inflatable bash. Ops took a tight victory in the final relay, topping off a fantastic day in the sun which was followed by a BBQ and drinks which was kindly hosted by Sportsman’s bar Odiham. A big thank you to the Go Karting club who helped run the next event. Thanks to them we were able to put on a brilliant afternoon of racing which ended in a nailbiting finish with BSW taking the event win after an extremely close endurance race alongside 27 Sqn and 18 Sqn in the finale. This was followed up by tournaments in dodgeball and handball, with 18 and 27 Sqn taking the victories respectively. Going into our annual Christmas quiz for the final event, BSW, 18 Sqn and 27 Sqn were separated by just one point following a fantastic year of competition. It was BSW however who dominated the quiz in almost every round to take the event victory and the overall title by just 1 point to second placed 18 Sqn. Along with the CO’s Cup trophy, they also took home a £100 food and drinks voucher along with a huge selection of tea bar treats! We hope last year’s CO’s cup inspired many to get involved. Starting on Thursday 24 February, we will be hosting a Unihoc tournament, our first event of the calendar year. The event will be teams of six from each section, so make sure to get in contact with your CO’s Cup rep to ensure your place. We hope to see you there for another year of unmissable action!
