How long have you been playing football?
I joined my first club at six years old and have been playing weekly ever since. During school I played for Wycombe Wanderers youth team and played in semi-pro youth and reserve teams before coming to Cambridge.

How often do the Blues train each week?
We generally train twice a week with one or two games each week. We also have a circuits session on a Sunday night at Fenners. During the second term things become a bit less structured as we aim to play our traditional fixtures and BUSA matches in time to leave us a good run up to Varsity.

Is it difficult to balance the work with training?
It sometimes can be - I’ve played for the Blues ever since my first week at Cambridge so I don’t really know it any other way. Generally my method is to play football for two terms and catch up with work in the third. It’s worked ok so far touch wood.

What are the Club’s chances this year for Varsity?
We’re quietly confident. We’ve worked very hard at all aspects of our game this year, and results have started to go well for us. I’m very pleased with the way the team’s shaping up, especially the development of the squad since the La Manga tour in January. We’re playing some excellent football and have strength in depth in every area of the pitch.

When and where is the varsity being held this year?
