St Cross College, Oxford

Oxford were sadly defeated in this year's Varsity Match at Twickenham on Thursday 10th December. In another thrilling match, the final score ended at 31 - 27 to Cambridge.

 

Oxford started the match strongly and dominated a good majority of the first half, going in to the second half 2 points up. But in a match dubbed ‘Grudgby' after the eventful 2008 match, Cambridge came back fighting and scored several tries. St Crossers cheering on the Dark Blues!

The dark blues didn't give up easily though, and scored their final 7 points in stoppage time, but it wasn't quite enough to ensure victory.

Congratulations to our two St Crossers in the Oxford Team; Ian Kench (MSc, Water Science) who started on the pitch playing on the second row, and David Rogers (MPhil, Modern Japanese Studies) who earned his first Blue coming on during the second half.
