Celebrating 150 years of Varsity Football ⚽️
This week, rare photos were released from the University archives, featuring some of football’s pioneers, to celebrate the historic anniversary.
Another historic first was reached last weekend at the annual Reserves Varsity, with the inaugural Women’s third team Varsity match. Cambridge were the victors, securing a stunning 7-0 win and setting a varsity record for highest margin of victory in the process! 🤯👏
The Blues renew their rivalry on Friday 15th March, marking 150 years of the event. Hit the link in bio to read all about it! 🩵
