Well SB, it's been a truly fantastic term.

The end of February saw the ever anticipated Varsity. On home territory, we were feeling confident. First, indoors. All our teams won, with the seconds dominating their game, and the ladies pulling it out of the bag in a nail-biting final point.

Then, outdoors. First: the clash of the titans, a faceoff between old enemies: the alumni match. A gripping match, with both teams fielding some excellent players. A good show with Oxford taking it home in the end. This was followed by the seconds' match. Despite a valiant effort, and some inspiring support from the sideline- ( incl. my favourite - "Gimme a D! (D!) Gimme a D! (D!) Gimme a D! (D!) What does it spell? DDDDDDDD!") we conceded. In the women's match, the strong Cambridge team could not be beat. Finally the firsts' match, for the coveted car door. Tension was in the air. Banter flew back and forth. Both teams wanted it, and judging from indoors scores it was going to be tight. And it was. The teams exchanged points until Cambridge with a massive effort pushed ahead by a few points.

Then (because Oxford are a lovely bunch really) we all went to the pub.

The final results were:
Indoors
Open 2nds: SB 9-3 OW
Women: SB 10-9 OW
Open 1sts: SB 8-7 OW

Outdoors
Alumni: SB 12-14 OW
Open 2nds: SB 12-14 OW
Womens: SB 15-8 OW
Open 1sts: SB 15-12 OW

3 weeks later...
MUOOR!
What can I say? We blew up HUGE. SB1 took the cup, qualifying for Nationals, and SB2 took the plate. If you want to know more, check out the tournament reports. Thanks for a huge effort from the committee for making this happen in Cambridge for the second year in a row, and to Geo and Gonzo our TDs for keeping things running smoothly all weekend.

Finally, some thought it would never happen... Winter Cuppers. Even the weather (in a somewhat schizophrenic manner) gave us some snow to make us believe it was December and not March. A smashing day, fun had by all. Thanks Kris Cao, TD, for running around like a headless chicken all day.

So to conclude: a pat on the back to everyone who has put such gargantuan effort into ultimate in Cambridge this term, bringing intensity to every morning, astro and Sunday practice. It pays off - we've now got a car door, a chair, and a bunch of silverware to prove it. A special shout to the captains who put so much thought into organising and running every practice.
