The Women’s Lacrosse team rounded off an exceptional season in their respective league by thrashing Cardiff University away 17-4 in the final fixture of the year. Alana Livesey was the stand-out performer for the Blues, scoring several fantastic goals in spite of an injury sustained to her wrist. Attacking trio Ellie Walsh, Georgie Hurt, and Jackie Vullinghs combined well, creating a series of fluid moves that tore open the Cardiff defense. Everything looks promising for the upcoming Varsity match, the Blues defeating Oxford 10-6 last Wednesday.

Despite failing to pick up a single point in PWC Division 1, the curerent holders of the Cuppers crown, St. Catz ensured that they could at least hope for some glimmer of success out of a dismally bad season. In a top division clash with St. John’s, Catz produced an enthralling performance which saw them run out 6-3 winners. A glance at the scoresheet indicates the possible reason for Catz’s upturn in form, Blues star striker Matt Stock adding four of the six Catz goals. College regulars Hall and Duhig completed the rout and ensured that St. Catz progressed to the Quarter-Finals where they will face Homerton, extra-time conquerors of Girton.

While the transfer window for the Premiership may have been quite underwhelming, non-league Cambridge United boss, Martin Ling, was busy trying to strenghten his squad for the second half of the season. As well as signing Youth Team players Luke Berry and Blaine Hudson to permanent contracts, Ling secured the signatures of  former Histon winger Antonio Murray and defender David Partridge. Inevitably the new arrivals came at a price, Cambridge finally losing their battle to hold on to promising striker Chris Holroyd. Holroyd, who was Cambridge’s most prolific player, has been prised away by Brighton manager Gus Poyet, the deal finally completed this week for an undisclosed fee.
