Sunday 28th February saw Rugby League Varsity taking place once again at Lady Bay, dwarfed by the surrounding stadiums Trent Bridge, Meadow Lane & the City Ground, in extremely cold temperatures! With a decent turnout of supporters from both university’s occupying the sidelines the scene was set. Previous to the main event the two 2nd teams had met on an adjacent pitch with Uni emerging victorious 16-14 in the closing minutes - a sign of things to come one may have thought?

Sunday 28th February is not only the day of the Carling Cup Final, but also sees ‘The 2010 C.R.Y. Varsity Series’ reach the 4th event out of ten, with Uni currently leading their local rivals Trent by 2-1. This game is obviously vital so early on in the series with the scores closely poised, but holds extra resonance with a ten-day break before netball on March 10th. A 3-1 Uni lead going into this rest period would be a huge confidence boost, but if Trent were to tie the series at 2-2 then we would be right back at square one.
