E R SPARROW CUP

The E R Sparrow Cup was an annual sporting award first given as a prize to the winner of the Open 440 yards race at the College sports. Like many College awards the events for which it was awarded varied over the years. It is no longer a currently used award.

By 1930, the E R Sparrow Cup was the Under 14 version of the Geelong College Cup, at that time, the penultimate College athletics award. It was awarded on a points basis as a result of four athletics events: 100 yds; 220 yds; High Jump; and Long Jump.

The Cup was originally donated in 1919 by William Edward Sparrow (1891-1966) in memory of his father Edward Rogers Sparrow (1847-1918) and named accordingly. The cup was last awarded in 1961.

Edward Rogers Sparrow was alleged to have been the first student enrolled at Geelong College in 1861.
