On Sunday evening at Vincent’t the Greyhounds and Whippets squads were announced the 2nd Varsity Match and Oxford Derby respectively.
Following a successful Michaelmas Term the Whippets will enter the ‘Oxford Derby’ with confidence, but know full well that Oxford Brookes will bring their A game to Iffley Road on Tuesday evening, kick-off 5.00pm.
The Greyhounds travel to Cambridge looking to retain the Trophy for a further year on the back of a mixed bag of results this term, and in the knowledge that the LX Club have had a strong term and will be looking to reverse last year’s close encounter. Kick-off is 2.15pm at Grange Road.
