Lap of Honour

Last night we continued our good relations with the Tigers, despite embarrassing their boys at the quiz, we were invited onto the pitch at half time during the match vs Saracens to promote Varsity (20th March, tickets available soon!) 


Eb the celeb, born performer, he's used to this.

Along with various junior rugby teams, a few women and some Canadians we all got our chance with the tiger. In a few weeks he'll be replaced by the Varsity Trophy!
He's a tigerr, a leicester tiger! And so's the bloke in the suit.

Save The Last Dance







Ray Lewis v Aled Evans Dance Off, who wins you decide....

Late equaliser clouds bright Still Binned FC performance against Geography

Georgraphy 'A' 3 - 3 Still Binned FC

This Sunday saw the return of Still Binned FC, the Rugby clubs attempt at the game with the round ball. After a rocky start conceding direct from a corner and a catastrophic own goal the dormant Still Binned FC went into the break 2-1 down. The second half erupted with flowing football and Geography were sent back to the drawing board (a place they know well) as Still Binned FC turned the game on its head with 2 classy goals from impact sub (and second team prop/winger) Sam Daniels and his best friend at uni Ben Westhead. With victory in our grasps three points evaporated as Geography scored with the last kick of the game, with what is known as a Gobbler - a devastating blow.

Man of the match - William Wildsword
Dick of the Day - Callum Howard, who forgot his boots and realised he was too ill to play but managed to Ref for £5.

Tigers Pub Quiz

Last Tuesday we were invited to the Leicester Tigers Pub Quiz, with over 400 people in attendance as well as a table of current Tigers players led by defending champion Jordan Crane,  it was great opportunity to promote Varsity and test ourselves against the brightest minds the East Midlands had to offer.

 At the halfway stage we had the chance to build up some support for the big day March 20th.
Team University Challenged (plus Uncle Tony)

A successful evening saw the boys finish 4th out of 47, not bad for a bunch of scumbag students.

Below is a link to an Interview we managed to wrangle out ofEngland Saxon and Leicester Tigers legend Ed Slater. Find out who he will be supporting at varsity.....

2's v Notts Trent

On yet another breezy wednesday the super two's took to the field to play Notts Trent. Even with the two biggest props in midlands 2A, Trent couldn't handle the speed and skill of the 2's, who's offloading game was comparable to the All Blacks at times. After travelling to the game in style, on the Notts County team bus equipped with sky and a kitchen, this was carried out onto the pitch and tries from Barry, Bobby, Fat Cam, Westhead, Dimmick, Swagger and James Mathews helped seal a 39-19 victory. On the return journey we did a little quiz with the pick of the rounds being Bobby against Emmanuel:



Sam would like to thank everyone for making his birthday such a great event and he really enjoyed himself:
