VARSITY MATCH

The annual Varsity Match against Oxford is the highlight of our calendar!

​

The modern format involves five teams, M1, M2, M3, W1 & W2 playing 6 singles and 9 doubles matches each, making the final score out of 75, with 38 required to win.

​

The first Varsity Match was held in 1928 in Cambridge, then involving only one (male) team of 6. A match has taken place every year since, barring a hiatus during the second world war (and due to COVID-19? Yet to see). Between 1928 and 1993 Oxford won only 6 matches, however since then both universities have had winning streaks lasting several years.

​

In 2019 CUBaC ended an 8-year Oxford winning streak, taking a triumphant 49-26 overall victory, and winning 4 of the 5 teams.

​

Unfortunately Oxford stepped up their game, started training even earlier in the morning than us, and took a narrow 43-32 victory on 29th Feb 2020.
