Weekend washout for Cambridge fixtures

Cambridge Pythons american football team were looking forward to kicking off 2014 with a match against BNU Buccaneers at Farnham. The match was called off at the last minute, however, due to severe waterlogging and floodlight problems.

Meanwhile the football Light Blues took a walkover against University of Gloucestershire, who were unable to field a team. The women’s rugby team also saw their match against Worcester Warriors called off, and the same fate befell the men’s rugby league fixture against Reading, already postponed once.

Wolfson kick on in MCR Football

Wolfson College men’s football team have taken the MCR Division 2 title in style, winning all nine of their games to beat Anglia Ruskin into second place. Ruskin had kept the pressure on for most of the season, with the two teams closely matched prior to Wolfson’s 5-2 victory in the head-to-head in December. Both teams are now promoted to MCR Division 1. Meanwhile, the top division is drawing to a close, with Cambridge Assessment, Jesus and St. Edmund’s vying for the title.
