Rugby

Ex-Blue Joe Ansbro has become the most recent Cambridge graduate to represent his country at a national level. Ansbro, who was a Blue in 2005-6 and who is currently playing professionally at Northampton Saints, was called up by Scotland coach Andy Robinson for the autumn internationals. Ansbro failed to make the squad for Scotland’s first match against New Zealand on Saturday, but will be hopeful of being blooded against Samoa in a few weeks’ time. Robinson believes that Anbsro will be of great benefit to the Scottish squad: "Joe has given some assured performances for Northampton when his team have been under pressure and he can play centre and wing which gives us options."

Lacrosse

The lacrosse women’s Blues continued their good form dispatching a poor Bath University side by 20 goals to 3. What will particularly please the Blues set-up is the fact that all five freshers who are new to the side scored goals and the way the Blues responded to a half-time grilling from co-captain Laura Plant and former captains Gen Gotla and Georgie Hurt. The attacking pair of Alana Livsey and Eliie Russel were particularly threatening. The Blues have had an excellent start to the season and will be keen for a continuation of this form. The University second team were also successful against Nottingham seconds, defeating them by 20 goals to 8.

BMC

Caretaker manager Enos Mmesi will have been disappointed to not come away with a victory on Sunday, as he tries to make his caretaker manager role permanent. Instead, Botswana Meat Commission F.C could only draw 2-2 with Notwane F.C as striker Kenanao Kgetholetsile took his season’s goal tally to six. Mmesi will undoubtedly come under scrutiny in the coming weeks, following allegations that he was instrumental in Kaizer Kalambo’s sacking. Kalambo accused his former assistant of undermining his authority and causing divisions in the squad. However, Mmesi may be upset by recent claims that BMC are looking to go in a different direction, and bring in Daniel Chico Nare from rivals Extension Gunners, who has a temperamental relationship with his present board. There are no matches scheduled for the coming weekend to allow the national team more time to prepare ahead of their upcoming clash against Tunisia.
