The Blues Sevens rugby side’s trip to
Harlequins for the Middlesex National Club finals, previewed in
last week’s Jock Strip, ended with mixed emotions. The
disappointment of a defeat to Nottingham RFC in the first game
was followed by a streak of wins in the Plate Competition, and so
the day ended with the side picking up a trophy as they defeated
the all-Fijian line-up of the Prince of Wales Regiment 31-19 in
the Final. OXILP retained the college rugby sevens
trophy on Sunday with victory over LMH/Trinity in the final.
After a hard-fought first half ended 0-0 the legally minded side
ran in seventeen unanswered points. It left LMH/Trinity as the
bridesmaids for the second time this season, following their 22-5
defeat to Hertford in the Cuppers plate final. New/Templeton and
St Hugh’s fell at the semi-final stage. Five-a-side football, Frisbee, archery and
trampolining are among the attractions at an event which promises
to satisfy a diverse range of interests – this year’s
charity sports day, hosted by OUSU as part of RAG week, which
takes place on Sunday from 12:00 to 4:00 at Iffley Road. All are
welcome and proceeds go to RAG. It has been an eventful year for
Oxford’s Dance Sport club, with a particular highlight being
Merton’s Dan Lubrich and Catz’s Clare Icely picking up
the trophy for ‘most promising couple’ in the Southern
Championships Cup. The big event of Varsity, taking place at
Iffley Road this Saturday, is now firmly in the side’s
sights. Jock Strip wishes the Dark Blues the best of luck in
their quest to beat the Tabs. Jock Strip is becoming
rather keen on apologies this term. Last week the women’s
Blues ice hockey side were alleged to have been beaten 18-0 by
Romford on two occasions. With our sources for this story now
safely locked away, the truth has emerged that the second of the
two games was in fact called off and conceeded 10-8. Jock Strip
extends its apologies for this mistake and wishes the side a
healthy end to a season which has often been highly successful.
