Last weekend (12-13 March), Team Southampton were victorious and retained the Varsity trophy against the University of Portsmouth. This is the ninth win in a row for UoS, who defeated Portsmouth with a momentous 158-98 score.
Over 60 fixtures took place across the weekend, including lots of pre-events. All the results from the weekend can be viewed on the University of Portsmouth website.
Team Southampton also secured a draw in the Intramural competition – where UoS halls and faculty social sports teams competed against their equivalents at the University of Portsmouth.
This was for the first time in a few years, showing the strength of our Intramural setup which manages to get thousands of students active every year.
Matt Smith, VP Sports at SUSU, said:
“The weekend was a massive success for the team. It was great to see the students conduct themselves brilliantly on and off the field.
“The atmosphere was absolutely electric, and it was a privilege to lift the trophy on behalf of all the hardworking SUSU staff, volunteer members and students who give up lots of their free time to help make Team Southampton proud.
“Over the course of the weekend, we had over 1500 students go to Portsmouth to play or support, and on Sunday night we held a very successful sold-out afterparty on campus.”
