Annual Review 2006-2007
Looking to the Future
John Inverdale, BUSA President
Is it me, or do Olympic Games seem to
come along with alarming rapidity these
days? No sooner have we said farewell to
Athens, than Beijing looms on the immediate
horizon, and then it’s somewhere else four
years after that.
Athens was a defining Games for the
relationship between sport and students.
Nearly 60% of the Great Britain team
were either in, or had been through Higher
Education, and it’s not unreasonable to
expect that figure to be matched, or even
exceeded in China.
The British University Championships are
a major development for 2008, and with
a new body created to oversee them, it’s
a good time for student sport as a
whole. Who’s to say how substantial (and
critical) BUSA’s contribution will be to the
success of 2012?
“there is now a much
greater understanding of
the all-round requirements
of the individual once they
have hung up their spikes/
boots/racket/goggles.”
The crucial point about that figure is the
way it signposts that sport is not just about
competing for competing’s sake, but also
that there is a clear will on the part of the
students themselves, and also governing
bodies and universities, to ensure that it
can help as a pathway to a career and give
people a long-term future. It’s a balancing
act, because compromising potential
success in the sporting arenas of the
world is not what the athlete or the sport
wants, but there is now a much greater
understanding of the all-round requirements
of the individual once they have hung up
their spikes/boots/racket/goggles.

Annual Review 2006-2007
An Historic Year
Phil Attwell, Chairman
“We remain committed to
continuous improvement,
and I hope that this has
been seen in all the work
of the Association.”
As years go, this one has been pretty frantic,
again. The pace of development continues to
increase, putting staff and volunteers under
increasing pressure. Despite this, the year
has been a great one for the Association.
At the AGM in June, the membership
voted overwhelmingly to move towards the
establishment of one body for sport in Higher
Education. This meeting was the culmination
of much work carried out by volunteers,
staff, and Neil Park, employed to help as a
consultant. There remains much to do to
bring the new organisation to fruition in early
2008, but the decision has now been made.
The organisation that begins operating fully
in July 2008 will represent not only the
competitive programme, but will be able to
better represent the whole sector with other
agencies, and will have a much broader
portfolio of interests, incorporating coaching.
health, professional development, recreation,
and high performance (to name a few).
The streamlined Executive Board has
worked tirelessly to move the Association
forward during the year, even with the “new
organisation” issues in the background. Our
marketing and communication endeavours
are much improved, and there is more
support for this function in the office. The
investment in BUSA international teams
is higher than ever before, due mostly to
the hard work of Jo Kirk; the competitive
programme continues to expand and
improve; and our processes are under
constant review, to enable us to deliver
in the most professional manner to our
members. For this I would like to thank
all the volunteers and staff, whose tireless
efforts really make a difference for the
students “on the street”.
I would also like to thank Jenny Brown, who
has come on board as our interim Chief
Executive, following the departure of Ian
Randell in January 2007. Jenny has done
much more than just holding the fort, and
her commitment has been much greater
than anyone could have expected.
And finally, a word to our students. I had
the pleasure of attending our Surfing
Championships, held in Newquay in
February. The weather was terrible, and
the geography is not great for many of
the athletes. No matter though – the
event was the biggest in Europe, and the
commitment shown by the athletes to enjoy
themselves and compete to a high standard
was laudable. That students then have to
drive to the furthest extremes of Scotland
from Newquay is testament to how much
our competitions mean to the students.
We remain committed to continuous
improvement, and I hope that this has been
seen in all the work of the Association.

Annual Review 2006-2007
The New Strategic Direction
Jenny Brown, Chief Executive
The past year has seen a number of changes
and developments within all business areas
of BUSA, including staffing. Firstly, Ian Randell
left the organisation, to return to the golfing
world in January 2007 handing over to myself
a number of exciting developments. The
agenda for the office has been led by the new
Strategic Plan 2006/2009 which was finalised
throughout the autumn of 2006. The plan has
been built around 8 strategic aims broken
down into specific objectives. At the time of
writing this report all the timescales for the
objectives, up to April 2007, had been met
some of which I will highlight in this report.
The main development has been around
the creation of a BUSA British University
Championships event starting in March 2008.
This will bring together the finals events of
22 sports and will be the biggest multi-sport
event in the UK next year and act as a sports
festival for students. Following a tendering
process Sheffield has been appointed as the
host city for the event for 2008, 09 and 10.
The city has an excellent history as a venue for
BUSA events, since hosting the World Student
Games in 1991, as well as having some of
the most impressive sports venues in the UK
and I am convinced that they will provide the
best possible facilities for all the sports taking
part. BUSA will be working in partnership
with the Major Events Unit of Sheffield City
Council, Yorkshire South, and Yorkshire
Forward as well as Fast Track, an Events,
Communications and Consultancy Company,
who have managed the tendering process
on our behalf, to ensure the event is of an
exceptionally high standard.
Developments within competitions include
the removal of the glass ceiling for non first
teams within the league structure which both
Rugby Union and Tennis are undertaking
for next year and the re-establishing of
the British University Games which will
be hosted by Edinburgh and Heriot Watt
universities. This year we have seen many
of our competition reach capacity with
increased numbers in many of our Individual
Championships. This will see changes in the
format of some sports to enable us to cope
with the ever increasing demand. Individual
Golf last year had to do this by introducing a
regional qualifying structure culminating with
the Individual Strokeplay Championships.
The overall points structure was significantly
altered for last season which saw for the
first time teams receiving points for league
finishing positions and athletes participating
in our Individual Championships received
more points in recognition of the standard
of their competition. This year has also
seen BUSA receive a grant from the Football
Association which has led to the organisation
employing a full time Football Development
Manager specifically for the development of
Higher Education football.
The Marketing and Communications area has
been developed with reorganisation of the
staffing structure to allow 2 full time staff to
work in this developing and important area.
The BUSA website has grown in strength
and stature since it’s re-design at the end
of 2006 and has seen over 100% increase
in traffic over this season. BUSA members
can access fixtures and results, news,
competitions, e-newsletters and video just
to name a few. BUSA is also in the process
of creating an Editorial Team and a BUSA
Production Team that will be launched for the
2007-2008 season. The Editorial Team will
be in conjunction with our sponsors the Daily
Telegraph, and will help aspiring young sports
writers to gain experience in their field. The
BUSA Production Teams are being created
with media partners Sub.tv. This will enable
enthusiastic media students and individuals to
create their own footage that will be broadcast
in students unions all over the country.
It was a successful year for Great Britain in
International University Sport. At the end of
2006 Golf and Badminton added to the medal
tally for the World University Championships. In
total athletes from 47 different BUSA member
institutions represented Great Britain at World
University Championships and won a total of 24
medals including 10 Golds.
The 2007 World University Winter Games saw
Great Britain take its largest ever delegation to
this event with 79 athletes and officials. The
Men’s Curling team was the most successful at
the Games winning a silver medal.
Our volunteering action plan has been moving
along and at the time of going to print we will
have launched our own volunteering pages
on the BUSA website where BUSA, National
Governing Bodies and Member Institutions
will have the opportunity to post volunteering
opportunities and individuals the ability to
search for roles in their area. Professionalising
this area is paramount to the Association, and
other sporting bodies, as most sports events
and programmes would not be able to run
without the help of our fantastic volunteers.

BUSA Awards Dinner 2007
14 June 2007, One Great Georges Street, London
The BUSA Awards Dinner once again

INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP
17 March 2007, University of Leeds
This year saw medals awarded for the first
time to Barebow and Longbow Archers
in both the experienced (Championship)
and novice categories. Another change
saw BUSA reorganising the point structure
for the top 4 places in the Individual
Championship and for the top 8 places in
the Team Championship, meaning that clubs
can hopefully access greater funding and
support from their universities.
With over 500 students wanting to shoot,
Leeds had their hands full fitting as many as
they could into three sessions over the day.
In the end 5 records were created or broken.
This year saw the gold medal winners
coming from many different universities (42
took part), demonstrating the wealth of talent
that exists all round the country. Jim Smyth
(Plymouth) retained the Men’s Barebow title
with Keiran Whitworth (Bangor) in second
place. Meanwhile Mary Ann Richardson
(Cardiff) broke the previous BUSA record to
take the Women’s Barebow Championship
title with a score of 492.
In the Longbow category Owen Roberts
(Swansea) took the Men’s title and Zoe
Smith (Reading) took the Women’s.
Meanwhile the top trophy longbow winner
was Jonathan Matthews (Swansea) who also
increased the record set last year to 230.
Tim Nash (London) won the Men’s
Compound division leaving Andrew Ward
(Edinburgh) and Chris Bell (Birmingham) to
settle for silver. Meanwhile Stephanie Crang
(Gloucestershire) had a decisive win with
a score of 582 in the Women’s Compound
division. Andrew Callaway (Bournemouth)
proved victorious to claim his first Individual
Indoors title with a score of 582 in the Men’s
Recurve, and Jenny Jeppsson (Edinburgh)
defending her Women’s title.
In the Championship Team event Edinburgh
took the title for the fifth year in a row and
broke their record once again by two points
with 2276.
OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP
16 June 2007, Lilleshall National
Sports Centre
This year saw a change to the usual format
of an Albion/Windsor. Instead, archers shot
their respective FITA round and novices shot
a round down.
Once again, the popularity of the event
meant that as many targets as possible (70)
were squeezed onto the field. On the day, a
total of 38 universities were in attendance,
with 229 archers.
It was of no surprise to see that the standard
was very high and the final positions in many
categories were decided by just a couple
of points - most notable being Mark Vernon
(Reading) and Dave Jackson (Sheffield)
missing out on gold in the Barebow category
by one point and Longbow by two points
respectively. By the end of the competition,
the worthy winners had all shot scores at or a
few points off, Grand Master Bowmen which
really sets the standard for future years.
Ultimately, almost 20% of the experienced
Recurve and compound competitors shot
scores of Master Bowman level.
Many of the universities had something to
cheer about as the medal winners were
announced. It total, 23 different universities
had at least one person in the top 3 of each
category.

CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS
3 February 2007, University of Bath
The BUSA Cross Country Championships
took place with 729 students making
their way to the University of Bath. The
event was also acting as the official trials
for the Norwich Union GB Senior Team
heading for the IAAF World Cross Country
Championships being staged in Mombasa,
Kenya, on Saturday 24 March.
In the BUSA Men’s Championship Long Race
Frank Tickner (Birmingham) retained his 2006
title with a time of 33.13. Frank was followed
a minute later by Joe McAlister (Queens) in
a time of 34.12. The bronze medal was
taken by Gary Thornton (St Mary’s). Frank’s
performance was outstanding and helped
Birmingham Men take the Team title in the
long race with finishers in 1st place, 5th place
(Jon Pepper), 7th place (Ben Tickner) and
14th (Neil Burton).
6TH WORLD UNIVERSITY ARCHERY
CHAMPIONSHIPS
12 – 18 June 2006, Slovak Republic
The 6th World University Archery
Championships took place in the Slovak
Republic at the earlier time of mid-June.
The team consisted of Recurve archers
Emma Downie (Edinburgh) and Team
Captain Andrew Callaway (Bournemouth)
along with compound archers Nicky
Hunt (Coventry), Philippa Ascough and
Rebecca Gridley (Edinburgh), Andrew Ward
(Edinburgh), Neil Bowley (Nottingham
Trent) and Tim Nash (St Barts & London).
Support staff were Ken Bearman (coach),
John Sullivan (team manager) and Liba
Sheeran (physiotherapist). Half of the team
had attended last year’s World University
Games and were eager to improve upon
their performances there, and Philippa
was keen to add to the team bronze medal
that she had won in the World University
Championships back in 2000.
The team of Tim Nash (St Barts), Andrew
Ward (Edinburgh) and Neil Bowley (Notts
Trent) took bronze in the compound event
behind France and USA who took the silver
and Gold respectively.
The Women’s Compound team, Phillipa
Ascough (Edinburgh), Rebecca Gridley
(Edinburgh) and Nicola Hunt (Coventry),
narrowly missed out on a medal finishing
in fourth behind USA, Korea and France
who took the Bronze, Silver and Gold
Respectively.
Outdoor Athletics Championships 2007, Bedford
In the BUSA Women’s Championship Race
last years winner Elle Baker (Brunel) was
forced into the silver medal spot when Felicity
Milton (Durham) took gold by one second with
a time of 21.54. Faye Fullerton (St Mary) took
bronze with a time of 22.25. In the Women’s
Team event Birmingham made it a double
with finishers in 4th (Andrea Woodvine), 5th
(Olivia Kenney), 6th (Nicky Archer) and 10th
(Lucy Mayho) place.
In the Men’s B race Sam Perkins
(Birmingham) took the gold with a time
of 23.16, whilst team mate Tom Penfold
(Birmingham) took bronze. They were
separated by Dan Shane (Loughborough) who
finished only a second behind Sam with a
time of 23.17.
When the Norwich Union Great Britain and
Northern Ireland Team for the IAAF World
Cross Country Championships was named
a week later BUSA competitors strongly
dominated the women’s squad of 6, with
4 having come through the BUSA Athletics
Programme. Elle Baker (Brunel) was the
BUSA Champion in 2006 and silver medalist
in 2007 and is part of the squad to travel to
Mombasa, Kenya.

Annual Review 2006-2007
13
Hatti Dean (Hallamshire Harriers & ex
Sheffield University) was the BUSA
Champion in 2005 and participated
at the World University Cross Country
Championships 2006 in Algiers.
Felicity Milton (Durham) won the BUSA
Championship on Saturday and as a reward
has been given her place in the squad. Kate
Reed (ex St Mary’s) was a silver medalist
at the World University Cross Country
Championships and finished overall first on
Saturday (as part of the UKA Senior World
Trials Selection).
In the 9 strong Men’s squad the 2004 BUSA
Champion Chris Thompson (Aldershot,
Farnham and District & ex Loughborough)
will be hoping to impress in Kenya.
The BUSA Cross Country Men’s Champion
of 2007 & 2006, Frank Tickner (Birmingham
University) was, however, a notable absentee
from the 15 strong senior squad. Frank
decided to concentrate on his examinations
at Birmingham University, studying English
and French. Frank went on to claim the 4
major domestic cross country titles in 2007,
the first time one man has been so dominant
since 1995, when Spencer Duval (Cannock
and Stafford AC) carried all before him –
and then went on to steeplechase for
Britain at the following year’s Olympic
Games in Atlanta.
INDOOR ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS
10-11 March 2007, EIS Sheffield
With the Championships returning to EIS
Sheffield for the third year running, A total
of nine Championship Best Performances
(CBP) and a Welsh National Record fell over
the weekend when spectators witnessed
some quality performances.
The performance of the weekend belonged
to Scott Simpson who beat record holder
Christian North (Bath) with a height of 5.42m
to claim both the Welsh National record
and a new BUSA record in the Men’s Pole
Vault. North came in second with a jump
of 5.10, the same height as Paul Walker
(Loughborough) who came in third.
Two other CBP were broken on the first
day of the Championships. Montel Douglas
(Brunel) set a new BUSA Championship
Best Performance of 7.31 seconds in the
Women’s 60m final, having previously
bettered it in the heats and the semi final,
almost touching that of her lifetime best of
7.28, which she ran at the European Indoor
Championships.
Gary White (UWIC) put in a very good
sequence of jumps but saved his best till
last jumping 16.00m in the final round of
the Men’s Triple Jump to set a new CBP and
a lifetime best performance. Elliot O’Neill
(also UWIC) finished second with 15.55m
and John Carr (Stirling) third with a PB of
15.20m.
In the Men’s 60m, the blue ribbon event
of Indoor Athletics, Simeon Williamson
(Middlesex) got a fast start and upset
predictions by beating Ryan Scott (Bath)
by two one hundredths of a second with a
time of 6.71 seconds, three hundredths of a
second outside the Championship Best.
The Women’s long jump went to Norwich
Union GB combined events international
Phyllis Agbo (Cambridge) with 5.96m.
One Day 2 of the Championships the record
books continued to be re-written. Hannah
England (Birmingham) set a new CBP in
the Women’s 1500m race with a time of
4.19.68 seconds, beating the previous
CBP set by Rebecca Lyne in 2005 of
4.21.01 seconds.
Gemma Bennett (Brunel) broke the CBP
record she set last year in the Women’s 60m
Hurdles by three hundredths of a second
to set her new record of 8.25. Bennett was
followed by Andrea Vinet (Loughborough)
former Canadian Universities Hurdles
Champion, and Louise Hazel (Birmingham)
who both came in at 8.40.
Garrett Johnson (Oxford), ranked 12th in
the World in shot putt in 2006, broke the
CBP numerous times in his performance at
the Indoors. Johnson threw an astounding
20.15m, over three metres above the
previous record in the qualifying rounds,
and then 19.64 in the final. Kieran Kelly
(Loughborough) came in second, but with a
CPB of last year’s record with 16.38m.
Charlotte Best (Loughborough) ran a CBP
in the Women’s 800m in a time of 2.05.32,
beating the record set in 1996 of 2.07.76 by
fellow Loughborough Student Hayley Parry.
Rachel Thompson (Loughborough) came
in second four seconds later with 2.07.10,
and Natalie Shaw (Staffordshire) third with
2.13.10.
Loughborough finished ahead of both Bath
and UWIC in the 4 x 200m Men’s Relay
with a CBP. The team was led home by Phil
Taylor, gold medalist in the 4 x 200m at the
recent European Indoor Championships.

the start of the three day competition with a
time of 10.29 seconds in the Men’s 100m.
Six Championship records were set over

the Norwich Union UK Championships. The
athletes will become even more accustomed
to the Bedford International Athletic Stadium
after Bedford and BUSA agreed to a three
year deal to host the Championships there
till 2009.

in the Women’s.
COMBINED EVENTS CHAMPIONSHIPS
30 June - 1 July 2007, Cwmbran Stadium
Much like the rest of the UK the weather was
pretty miserable throughout the weekend
and this didn’t encourage many spectators to
the Championships. The event run by Welsh
Athletics and UWIC incorporated the BUSA
Championships as well as the Welsh Senior,
Junior, U17 and U13 Championships.
9 men started in the BUSA Championships
with Patrick Halcrow (UWIC) taking 1st place
with an impressive score of 6675, which
places him at 13th on the UKA’s Power of
10 rankings. Tom Reynolds (Brunel) came
in second with a score of 6270 while John
Stacey (Northumbria) scored 5546 to secure
3rd place.

Badminton Championships in Wuhan, China in
October 2006.
Hayley Connor, from University of Bath, and
Robert Adcock, from Sheffield Hallam, lost in the
semi-final of the Mixed Doubles tournament,
thus obtaining a Bronze medal. It was a nail
biter of a match though as China, once again,
proved too strong for the pairing. China started
well with Zua Li Hua and Chen Lin taking the
first game 21:16, GBR fought back and took
the second game comfortably 21:11. The last
game was a tight affair with China the eventual
winners 21:18 setting up an all China final.

POLO CHAMPIONSHIPS
20-22 April 2007, Hatfield Water Park,
Doncaster
This year’s competition was bigger and
better than ever before with a record 85
teams making the BUSA event the biggest
Polo tournament of the year.
The group stages of the competition started
bright and early on Saturday morning with
the BUSA Open and Women’s entering the
fray. Play continued throughout the day and
after 9 hours on the water the top two in
each group had been decided and it was
time for the knockout stages. These started
early on Sunday and the teams played down
to an individual position, 1st to 28th and 1st
to 25th for the Open and Ladies leagues
respectively.
The Women’s Final saw Newcastle take on
ULU. This was a close game with both teams
struggling to score, until the second half
when Newcastle slipped one past ULU and
the game finished 1-0.
In the Open Final Newcastle were in action
again, this time against Nottingham. This
was one of the closest Finals in recent years
with both teams playing to a high standard,
creating opportunities and displaying good
teamwork. The well matched teams pushed
the game into “golden goal” extra time with
the score tied at 0-0 and the crowd on the
edges of their seats, wondering if they’d see

but Nottingham managed to make a break up
the pitch and score the golden goal to retain

Having had no play on the first day,
Loughborough and Durham returned to
Shenley on the allocated reserve day to
contest the Final.
Loughborough got off to a good start,
reducing their opposition to 47 for six off
17.4 overs before a defiant Joe Buttleman
(Durham) formed a healthy partnership with
team mate Chris Paget taking Durham to 95
for 7. Buttleman’s impressive innings of 45
spurred on the team and enabled Durham to
end their innings on 141 for 9.
After the break, Loughborough started
strongly and it wasn’t until the tenth over
that Durham were able to breakthrough
when Richard Malcolm-Hansen was caught
by David Balcombe off Patrick Foster’s
bowling. Player of the Final and Captain
of Loughborough Matthew Spreigal led his
team well scoring a further 17 runs before
being out LBW in the 17th over. Durham
struck again quickly as Loughborough failed
to put any more runs on the board before
losing their third wicket. However, the
Midlands side were soon back on track with
William Gifford hitting a number of fours to
take his team closer to the 142 target. It
was Jonathan Hughes though that hit the
winning runs as Loughborough made 142
for 6 in 34.2 overs.
Trophy
Semi-Final
Loughborough competed in both Semi-
Finals and were triumphant in both with the
2nd team beating Bath 1st and the 1st team
beating Durham 2nd.
Final
13 June 2007, Loughborough University
It was always going to be a Loughborough
win, as the 2nd team faced the 1st team. In
a rain affected match it was the 1st team
that eventually won by 13 runs after the
Duckworth / Lewis method calculated the
reduced target.
Shield
13 June 2007, Luton Town & Indians CC
It was Liverpool 1st versus Brighton 1st in
the Shield Final. Whilst the rain threatened
the match went ahead without problems.
Liverpool batted first to score 233 for 7 of
their 50 overs. After lunch Brighton went in
to bat, but never quite settled and were all
out for 151 giving Liverpool the title.
Plate
Leeds Metropolitan 2nd had a convincing
win over Kent 1st. The northern team scored
247/8 whilst Kent could only manage 180 all
out in return.
WOMEN’S TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Women’s Competition was once again
dominated by a very strong Loughborough
side. In the Premier League North they
amassed over 1000 runs to win the league
undefeated. In the Premier League South it
was Oxford that were once again undefeated
in winning the league.
Semi -Finals
The Semi-Finals saw Loughborough and
Oxford beating St Mary’s and Durham
respectively.
Finals
11 June 2007, The Parks, Oxford
In a repeat of last year’s Final Oxford were out
to make amends. Loughborough were all out
for 173, however, Oxford could not equal that
managing just 115 for 7.
Home Nations
Having been scheduled to take place
in Sheffield, this year’s Home Nations
Tournament was unfortunately cancelled due
to the severe flooding in the area on the day
before play was due to start.
British Universities tour to South Africa
2007 saw the re-establishing of the British
Universities Cricket Tour to South Africa. The
Tour was generously supported by the MCC
who provided a grant and Team Manager
Peter Brown. The format for the tour was a
triangular tournament including both South
African Universities and the South African
U19 team. The venue was moved from the
traditional base of Cape Town to the high
altitude High Performance Centre in Pretoria.
The British Universities team drew their first
match, a three day match, against the U19
but proceeded to struggle as injuries set in
and altitude took its effect. As the squad size
diminished, they then lost their next five one
day matches, however, the team beat the U19
in the final one day match of the series.

CHAMPIONSHIPS
11 – 13 April 2006 Arena UK, Allington,
Grantham
66 teams started in the leagues
competitions. 18 teams and 36 individuals
progressed to the regional qualifiers and
the 6 top teams along with the top 18
individuals made to the Championships.
Once there Nottingham Trent had a very
successful week finishing on 53 ahead
of former winners the Royal Veterinary
College on 60.5. UW Aberystwyth and
Manchester Metropolitan gained their best
ever placings in third and fourth on 106
and 120 respectively. Defending Champions
Southampton were pushed into fifth on 140
and Glasgow finished on 168 and ended up
sixth with only three team members.
Individually Charlotte Andrews from the
Royal Veterinary College ended up on top
with a final total of 7 just two points ahead
of Alex Morrison from Surrey on 9 but both
well ahead of the rest of the field. Third
went to Annie Sharpe of Nottingham Trent
on 18 just ahead of fourth placed Harriet
Sinden from Hull on the same mark but
Annie gained the advantage due to a better
Dressage placing. Fifth went to Charlotte
Humphrey on 19 one ahead of Emily
Maliphant in sixth on 20. Overall a very close
contest with only 10 marks separating third
place to eleventh place.
Dressage Team winners were Nottingham
Trent and the Individual win went to
Charlotte Andrews. Team jumping was won,
unusually, equally by UW Aberystwyth and
Nottingham Trent. Individually Sarah Blain
from Manchester Metropolitan took the
jumping title.
TROPHY
11 - 12 April 2006 Arena UK, Allington,
Grantham
56 teams started the newly christened
Trophy competitions. After the league
matches the top 14 teams moved into
battle at the Trophy Finals and much to their
surprise Kent were the victors on a score
of 26. Not to be outdone having travelled
almost an equal distance from the north the
Glasgow ‘C’ team also finished on 26 after
a great Show-Jumping session that gave
away no penalties. The Dressage swung
the balance and a lower score in that phase
gave Kent the victory for the first time. The
Royal Veterinary College backed up their ‘A’
team well by taking third on 35. Local Team
Nottingham finished fourth on 38 while
Liverpool ended on 42 giving them fifth. The
Glasgow ‘B’ team finished a very successful
week for the Scottish teams in sixth on 45.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Massive thanks go to all the centre owners
and managers who have hosted matches
throughout the year and been so patient
with the students, and also to the owners of
the horses who have given their horses so
readily. Huge thanks must also go to all the
helpers and volunteers that have been at all
matches from Trophy league matches up
to the Championships and given their time
and energy for little in return, and thanks
must also go to all the Dressage judges and
Show-Jumping judges that have worked
to ensure success at all matches. Finally
thanks need to go to the teams and the
members of their clubs. Without the league
matches there would be no Championship or
Trophy Final. Although it is in their interests
to run the matches there is essentially only
one team that will win each year in each
Championship. We hope that the other
120 teams each year continue to run their
matches as well as they have done in
2006-2007 in the hope that they may be
Champions in the future.

Football
MEN
The Men’s Football competition remains
the single biggest participation event in the
BUSA programme with a record 472 teams
taking part. This equates to over 7,000
students taking part each Wednesday. This
season five knockout competitions were
offered across 70 leagues, illustrating the
broad pyramid of the football programme.
Championship
21 March 2007, Loughborough
Semi-Finals
Bath 2 Swansea 1
UWE Hartpury 3 Northumbria 0
The Championship Semi-Finals took place at
Loughborough University and Loughborough
Dynamo FC. Both matches were closely
contested and with a place at Loftus Road
at stake. Despite Bath going a goal down
to Swansea they showed their dominance
as the game went on and secured a
place in the Final with a 2-1 win. UWE
Hartpury secured a comfortable victory over
Northumbria winning 3-0 creating a Bath v
UWE Hartpury Final.
Final
9 May 2007, Loftus Road, QPR FC
University of Bath 0 UWE Hartpury 1
With the raining pouring down and the flood
lights on the two teams anxiously took the
field for the finale of a long and competitive
season. With the Championship trophy at
stake both sides understandably played out
a tentative first half.
The deadlock was broken when Hartpury
took a shock lead in the 28th minute with
Bath conceding an own goal by Matt Taylor
following a cross by Matt Shaxton against
the run of play. The second half saw little
reaction from Bath, with the main threats
for the second goal of the game coming
from Hartpury. Bath’s best chance came
when Hartpury’s Goalkeeper Paul Tassell
made a potentially match winning save in
the 55th minute, followed by an excellent
block by Captain Matt Smith to take the
game to safety. Hartpury were unlucky to
not go further ahead with several chances to
double their lead.
Bath had a good late run in the last 10
minutes with a close attempt at goal, scaring
the Hartpury bench with the promise of an
equaliser. However, the one way traffic of the
match was too much for Bath to overcome,
leaving the score 1-0 to Hartpury at the final
whistle. Before Captain Matt Smith could lift
the Championship trophy, the midfielder was
awarded with the Player of the Match.
This ended what was a great day for
Football, with some excellent performances
indicating a growing pool of talent at the
University level. Hartpury now look forward to
a 2007-2008 season in the BUSA Premier
League, where Bath will be looking to gain
their revenge and regaining the title they had
in 2005.
Trophy Final
28 March 2007, Sheffield United Academy
University of Manchester 1 University of
Leeds 0
The Trophy Final was contested between
Manchester and Leeds at the superb
grounds of the Sheffield United Academy.
Both teams started strong put few goal
scoring opportunities were present. There
was little between the teams and after full
time the score remained 0-0. Manchester
eventually got the better of Leeds by scoring
in the second half of extra time.
Shield Final
28 March 2007, University of Hertfordshire
University of Hull 2 University of Exeter 1
The Men’s Football Shield Final proved to
be an entertaining and exciting game which
was well received by the many spectators
at Hertfordshire University. The fantastic

conditions and facilities paved the way for a
high quality Football match. In the end it was
Hull who incredibly completed their 100%
record in BUSA for the 2006/07 season, but
not without a fight from Exeter. In a closely
contested match Hull went on to lift the
Men’s Football BUSA Shield for the first time
in their history beating Exeter 2-1.

Semi-Finals
21 March 2007, University of Hertfordshire
Northumbria University 1 University of

Loughborough 5 UWIC 2
The Championship Semi-Finals took place
at the University of Hertfordshire. Both
matches were closely contested and with a
place at Loftus Road at stake. In a reply of
last years Final Loughborough played UWIC
in a hotly contested match. Loughborough
showed their dominance and paved their
way to the Final with a 5-2 win over UWIC.
On the adjacent pitch Brighton dominated
the play and defeated Northumbria 4-1 to
get to the Final for the first time.
Championship Final
9 May 2007, Loftus Rd, QPR FC
Loughborough 4 Brighton 2
In an exciting second half that saw four
goals, Loughborough’s strength and
consistency was too much for Brighton. The
defending Champions were unfortunate
not to go in at the break 1-0 ahead but
conceded a late goal in the last minute
before half time. After a back and forth
second half Loughborough left it late to
confirm their strength, taking the game 4-2,
and bringing the BUSA Trophy back to the
Midlands for the second year in a row.
Trophy Final
Manchester v Cardiff
Sadly Manchester failed to field a team and
conceded a walkover to Cardiff.
Shield Final
28 March 2007, University of Hertfordshire
Liverpool John Moores 5 UWIC 2nds 2
The Liverpool John Moore’s team imposed
themselves on their UWIC opponents from
the off, but couldn’t turn possession into
goals and as UWIC soaked up the pressure
they took the lead with a classic counter
attack. John Moores survived the onslaught
and showed great determination and fitness
to eventually defeat UWIC 5-2.
ENGLISH UNIVERSITIES
England Universities took the honours on
Wednesday 16 May 2007 with a victory
against the Combined Services, highlighting
the strength of competition in BUSA Football.
Every player in the squad of 18 were given a
minimum of 45 minutes and this freshness
was vital as Mike Symons (UWE Hartpury)
with a penalty and Colin Illey (Teesside)
scoring the goals to take the game 2-0.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A huge and a sincere thank you to all the
players, coaches and staff who commit so
much of their time to the organisation of
BUSA Football. We are especially grateful
to those institutions who hosted the Plate &
Vase Finals, to Bryn Clarke at Hertfordshire,
James Ellis at Loughborough and George
Harrison at Sheffield Academy for hosting
the Trophy, Shield and Championship
Semi-Finals. Special thanks also to the help
and support we received from Neil Mosley,
Director of Sport at Imperial College and
Steve Pike at QPR for all their support in
organising the Championship Finals.
This is an extremely exciting time for BUSA
Football. The ongoing support from the FA,
Umbro sponsorship and the formation of the
BUSA Football HE Advisory Group means
that the objectives of the BUSA Football
Development Plan can be met. The Advisory
Group is also finalising the arrangements for
the role out of Futsal as a sanctioned BUSA
sport for the 2007-2008 season.

Gaelic Football
BUSA MEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS
16-18 February 2007, Tir Chonaill Park,
Greenford, London.
Liverpool John Moores remain the top
University team in Britain after a deserved
seven-point victory over Edinburgh’s
Napier University in this season’s Men’s
Championships. A superb individual display
from inspirational captain Paudie Finnegan
played a significant part in taking the cup
back to Merseyside for another season.
However, it would be most unfair to suggest
that John Moores’ latest triumph was merely
a one-man show after the holders took an
early command in midfield.
While Finnegan’s personal tally of 1-
8, including 1-1 from play, contributed
handsomely to the Liverpool team’s success,
it was their teamwork, determination and
spirit that finally saw off the efforts of a
gallant Napier team. Both sides struggled
to find any kind of early rhythm but as the
half progressed the holders were noticeably
beginning to get on top. In the second half
Napier had the advantage of the slope but
the real question was would they be able to
make better use of it than the favourites did
in the first half.

24
Annual Review 2006-2007
Both sides also made one substitution at
the interval. Kieran Porter (John Moores)
and Matt Geraghty (Napier) both played
significant roles in a much improved second
half which almost exploded into life in
the opening minute when John Moore’s
forced a ’45. However, a Tommy Fitpatrick
point after just three minutes left just the
minimum between the sides as the game
became much more open. Within a minute
a Paudie Finnegan free had regained John
Moores’ two-point margin before two more
unanswered points opened up a four-point
lead for the holders within seven minutes of
the re-start. Although Napier substitute Matt
Geraghty had a fine point for the Edinburgh
team two minutes later, a superb goal from
Paudie Finnegan at the end of a fourman
passing movement appeared to be a
decisive strike for the holders after
fifty minutes.
The final quarter belonged to the holders
who were determined not to allow the
Napier team back into the game. John
Moores’ domination was truly reflected
on the scoreboard as they outscored their
opponents by 0-5 to 0-1 to deservedly retain
their title on a score of 1-15 to 2-5.

MEN’S INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM
STROKEPLAY CHAMPIONSHIPS
13 - 15 June 2007, De Vere Slaley Hall &
Seaton Carew Golf Club
54 Men qualified from Regional tournaments
in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England
& Wales to play in the 72 hole Strokeplay
Championships. They lined up in what
can only be described as atrocious golfing
conditions with non stop rain for the 3 days.
Play was delayed on Day 1 with players
only managing to play 18 holes on a rain
drenched Slaley Hall but it was local player
Craig Wilkinson (Northumbria) who took a 3
stroke lead over his nearest rival Gavin Dear
(Stirling).
With the rain continuing to fall, the organiser
made the decision to move to a nearby links
course Seaton Carew for the second and
third days play, with four par 5’s this was
going to be challenging for the Men. U21
England Player, Ian Winstanley (Leeds) put
the marker down in the first round of the
day shooting a great 74, the best round on
the course over the 3 rounds. Not to be left
behind David Booth, Paul Betty and Karl
Shephard (all from Stirling) all had solid
rounds in the afternoon scoring 75, 76 and
77 respectively. After the 3 rounds Wilkinson
held a 4 stroke lead over the consistent and
improving Booth.
For the final round just when it was thought
the conditions couldn’t get worse they did,
with the rain coming in horizontally and mist
setting in, it was truly a day for only the most
hardened golfers. The conditions took their
toll with only 20 of the original 54 golfers
finishing the round and some high scores
for those that did finish. The overnight
leaders continued their duel with Wilkinson
ultimately proving the victor. Booth did his
utmost to make the title his but Wilkinson
did enough to be the leader by the narrowest
of margins 1 shot. Congratulations to Craig
and Bournemouth University who took the
Team Strokeplay Title.
WOMEN’S INDIVIDUAL STROKEPLAY
CHAMPIONSHIPS
5-6 July 2007, De Vere Slaley Hall
Chloe Rogers (Buckingham Chilterns)
overcame her much fancied rivals to claim
the Women’s Individual Strokeplay title for
2007. The final year Sports Management
& Golf Studies student played consistently
over the 2 days placing in the top 3 for all 3
rounds. Heading into the final round Rogers
was tied on 158 with Laura Murray (Robert
Gordon) and Claire Marie Carlton (Stirling).
Shooting 4 over on the 7th seemed to stall
Rogers title aspirations but 5 birdies put
her one stroke ahead of Murray for the title.
Murray tied for overall second place with
Lucinda Davies (Birmingham) who had a
storming final round of 79 that put her back
in title contention after a poor round the
day before. Players were not helped by the
conditions with showers, a strong breeze
and a soaked course to contend with.
With 50% of the field first and second
year students the competition will be even
stronger the next few years as rivalries are
formed between universities.
REPRESENTATIVE
In a close fixture, British Universities won
against Durham Counties 10-8, a close 3.5-

The Championships once again had a

running for 12 hours (with the intension
of splitting it to 2 days for next season), it
ran smoothly throughout the day. The high
quality Championship (Grade 1) competition
was closely fought in both the Men’s and
Women’s categories. Leeds Metropolitan
dominated the Men’s competition, with
Steven Jehu edging past team mate Thomas
Rawlinson to take the title. In the Women’s
competition, Vicki Johns from Leeds
produced a series of excellent routines to
beat Felicity Barwell (Nottingham Trent)
and Megan Lane (UWIC). Loughborough
dominated the Men’s and Women’s Trophy
(Grade 2) events, with Matthew Pike
and Samantha Davies taking the titles
for the Midlands University. In the Team
competitions, Leeds Metropolitan once
again took both the Men’s and Women’s
Championship titles back to Yorkshire, and
this was followed up by completing the
clean sweep of Team titles, when the Leeds
Metropolitan second team also took home
the Team Trophy title.

Hockey
OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
28 March 2007, Beeston HC, Nottingham
The Hockey Finals at Beeston Hockey Club
saw some excellent and closely fought
Championship and Shield Finals, with the
Trophy Finals being a little more one-sided.
The Men’s Championship Final brought
together Midlands rivals Loughborough and
Birmingham and they played out a tentative
match, with Loughborough just winning
2-1. The Women’s Championship match
was equally close, with Durham having to
twice come from behind before winning in
extra time 3-2. The Trophy Finals were both
dominated by the Midlands conference, with
the Men’s Final mirroring the Championship
and Loughborough 2nd comfortably beating
Birmingham 2nd 4-1. The Women’s Trophy
Final saw Loughborough 2nd beating
Loughborough 3rd 6-0. The Shield matches
saw some more equally matched teams, with
both the Men’s and Women’s matches being
won by late goals. In the Men’s Shield Final,
Stirling maintained their 100% winning record
throughout the season by beating Exeter 2nd
3-2. The Women’s Shield Final was a North
v South match, with Newcastle beating Kent
2-1. Away from Beeston HC, the Plate Finals
were played at Southampton Solent and Bath.
In the Men’s Plate, Oxford beat Solent 2-1 in
another closely fought match, but the Women’s
Plate was more one-sided, with Loughborough
4th overwhelming Bath 4th 9-0.

Judo
CHAMPIONSHIP
17-18 March 2007 – University of
Wolverhampton Walsall Campus
The great thing about university sport is
that we see so many talented sports people
come through our doors and this year was
no different. While last years Championships
were dominated by competitors retaining
their titles this year from 237 competitors
only 4 were able to defend their titles – Lee
Shinkin (Brunel) Dan Grade U73kg, Danny
Murphy (Bath) Dan Grade Over100kg, Dan
Cartlidge (Loughborough) Kyu Grade U90kg
and Gemma Lawton (London) Kyu Grade
U78kg. Bath retained its hold on the Team
Championship winning this convincingly. A
new wave of top class judo competitors have
entered the university ranks and this can
only be good for our sport.
INTERNATIONAL
World University Judo Championships
17 – 20 December 2006, Suwon, Korea
Great Britain performed well in the individual
events at the 18th World University Judo
Championships with the home nation of
Korea, Hungary and France proving to be the
hardest to beat. The best performance from
Great Britain came in the Women’s Under
78kg event as Sian Wilson (Bath) finished in
a respectable 5th place, losing in the quarter
finals to eventual Gold Medallist Jung
Gyeong Mi (Korea). Andrew Burns (Bath)
also lost in the quarter finals to Mongolian
Tuvshin Nayar in the Men’s under 100kg
event. Another notable performance came in
the Men’s under 73kg event as Lee Shinkin
(Brunel) narrowly lost to Spaniard Romero
Miguel in the second round.
In the Men’s Team event Great Britain had
an unlucky break in the draw as they lost
to the much favoured France Team (who
dominated the individual competition) in the
last 8 of the competition, France went on to
gain gold in the Team Competition
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks to the tournament Director Jill West,
Malcolm Limrick, the BJA Midlands area and
Walsall Sports Centre staff who continue to
support the event.
Ju Jitsu
CHAMPIONSHIPS
18-19 November 2006, Aston Villa Leisure
Centre
The 2006 Jitsu Foundation Atemi National
Competitions were proud for the second
time to be part of the BUSA domestic
programme. The event, which took place at
Aston Villa Leisure centre and Woodcock
Sports Centre, Aston University on 18-19
November, involved 971 jitsuka, it was just
short of the illusive 1000, but was again
the biggest in the event’s history. The
competition was described by the chairman
of tertiary board, Sensei John Hamer as
‘a roaring success. The whole weekend
sparkled with an atmosphere of warmth and
friendliness, tinged with friendly rivalry and
mutual respect, people came from all over
the country to learn, share and enjoy the
practice of Jitsu with each other’
758 jitsuka competed in the 8 competition
grade categories and also provided the
largest competition the event has had,
which proved to be one of the most
entertaining and thrilling. The 2nd BUSA
JuJitsu Championships had 609 competitors
competing from 52 BUSA member
institutions. Every aspect of the event was
well received and enthusiastically enjoyed by
all who participated.
Many of the BUSA winners also won the
categories overall, with Adam Slawson
(Northumbria University) in the Yellow Belt
category, Mikhail Vishnyakov (University
of Bristol) in the Orange Belt category,
Nicola Richardson (University of Bath) in the
Green Belt category, Fredric Stains (Napier
University) and Oliver Strother (University of
Nottingham) all winning both the BUSA and
TJF titles.
Oliver Strother’s win in the Brown Belt
category helped the University of Nottingham
to the BUSA Team Championship, but
University of Nottingham Jitsu Club had to
take second place to Leeds Jitsu Club for
the TJF club shield. We look forward to
breaking the magic thousand barrier at the
2007 TJF Atemi Nationals Competitions and
continuing to hold BUSA’s largest martial
arts competition.

lightweight title. Team mate Jasper Chow
(Bath) took a gold medal in the middleweight
competition beating Daniel Seymour-Smith
(Loughborough). Bath, however, missed out
on the clean sweep as Andrew Kabakwu

took gold ahead of Lisa Cairns (Glasgow
Caledonian). Home competition Natalie

as they ran away with the Overall Team
title, beating Edinburgh and Nottingham
respectively.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BUSA are indebted to the work of Tom Crick
and his colleagues within the University of
Bath Karate Club who ensured such a smooth

were held over the weekend of the 25 – 26
March 2006 with the University of Sheffield
winning the Northern round and Oxford
University winning the Southern round. 16
teams qualified through to the final which
returned to the long standing final venue at
the University of Nottingham.

placed in the top two, with, the University
of East Anglia being crowned BUSA Korfball
Champions 2007 and Sheffield Hallam
runners up.
Lacrosse
The 2006-2007 Women’s Championships
saw 48 teams enter the leagues, a slight
increase on the previous season and the
standard throughout, particularly in the
Championship Final was very high. The
University of Edinburgh achieved a great
double taking both the Championship and
Trophy titles. This season also saw the
introduction of a Men’s Championship into
the BUSA Calendar for the first time with St
Andrew’s being crowned the first ever BUSA
Men’s Champions.
MEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP
29 April 2007, Brooklands Hulmeians
Lacrosse Club, Sale
Four regional tournaments took place early
on in the season with 26 teams battling it
out. The winners from each tournament (St
Andrew’s, Nottingham, UWIC and ULU) went
through to a Semis and Final weekend in
April. After a withdrawal from ULU and with
UWIC beaten in the Semi-Final, the inaugural
Men’s Championship Final saw Nottingham
take on St Andrews. The first quarter saw
St Andrews come out on top and take a
0-2 lead with the help of Kevin Land and
George Macdonald. They went on to make it
0-3 in the second quarter. The third quarter
belonged to Nottingham and saw them
scoring twice without reply. Into the final
20 minutes the play changed possession

28
Annual Review 2006-2007
frequently. In a nail-biting last minute
Nottingham took the lead for the first time
only to see St Andrew’s equalising before the
final whistle. Into extra time St Andrew’s dug
deep and found the strength required finally
taking the title 8-5. The Most Valuable Player
award went to Pat Cronin, Nottingham’s
goalkeeper.
WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP
Semi-Finals
14 March 2007, University of Nottingham
Two great Semi-Finals took place in
Nottingham. The first saw Oxford lose
9-12 to Birmingham and the second had
supporters on the edge of their seats as
Edinburgh took on Cambridge. The score
was 11-11 at full time but Edinburgh
powered through in extra time taking the
match 13-12.
Final
21 March 2007, Timperley Lacrosse Club,
Manchester
A gloriously sunny day saw Birmingham take
on Edinburgh in Manchester. Birmingham
got off to the best possible start getting on
the score sheet after just 11 seconds with
a great goal from Rebecca Roberts-Gawen.
The rest of the first half saw possession split
between the teams and the score at 2-2
going into half time. In the second half the
first 15 minutes saw both team’s scoring
but in the final 15 minutes the Edinburgh
Women’s Lacrosse Championships 2007
side stretched their lead and despite a
late run from Birmingham they could not
catch Edinburgh and the final score was
7-5. The Most Valuable Player award was
shared between Rebecca Roberts-Gawen
(Birmingham) and Louise Verall (Edinburgh).
WOMEN’S TROPHY
21 March 2007, Timperley Lacrosse Club,
Manchester
The Trophy Final saw an exceptionally close
battle between the Edinburgh 2nd team and
Warwick. Edinburgh 2nd took an early two
goal lead before Warwick got themselves
on the score sheet with some fantastic
play in particular from Millie Reid. At half
time the score was 7-4 to Edinburgh 2 but
Warwick came out in the second half with
guns blazing and 3 goals bringing the game
to 7-7. Into the last minute extra time was
looking likely but with 13 seconds left on the
clock Edinburgh 2nd’s Nicola Buckmaster
struck the back of the net, scoring her side’s
only goal of the second half right when it
mattered, creating an 8-7 final score.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thank you to Timperley Lacrosse Club for
hosting the Women’s Finals at late notice

more teams enter than previous years, with
319 teams participating in the leagues.
The standard of the game is constantly
improving, especially in the Premier Leagues
where Northumbria took the Northern title
and Bath the Southern. The University of
Edinburgh triumphed in a closely fought
playoff game against Newcastle which
resulted in the Scottish side being promoted
into the Northern Premier League for the
first time.
CHAMPIONSHIP
Semi-Finals
14 March 2007, English Institute of Sport,
Sheffield
Two nail biting Semi-Final matches
resulted in wins for UWIC and last season’s
Champions Loughborough but it was by
no means an easy feat for either side. The
first Semi-Final saw last year’s runners up
Northumbria take on UWIC in what proved
to be a tactical, low scoring match where
UWIC edged ahead and took the victory by
26 goals to 21.
In the second Semi-Final Loughborough took
on Bath. There was some excellent Netball
being played and extra time looked likely
with the score tied with 6 minutes to go. In
the final minutes Loughborough dug deep
and edged ahead finally winning by 45
goals to 41.
Final
25 March 2007, English Institute of Sport,
Sheffield
The Championship Final saw defending
Champions Loughborough retain their title,
beating UWIC 52-24. The score does not
reflect the quality of the match and the
UWIC side provided some tough competition
for parts of the game, however, could not
overcome the all-round strength of the
Loughborough side. Loughborough’s GD
Kara Luck was voted Player of the Final.
Trophy
Final
25 March 2007, English Institute of Sport,
Sheffield
The Trophy Final between Oxford University
1sts and University of Bath 2nds saw a
thrilling contest where Oxford held their
nerve to take the title 37-33.
Shield
Final
25 March 2007, English Institute of Sport,
Sheffield
The Shield Final between Loughborough
University 3rds and Southampton University
1sts saw some fantastic action from both
teams. Despite great play from Southampton
in the third quarter the Loughborough 3rds
proved too strong and the final score was
47-30.
Plate
Final
21 March 2007, Cardiff University, Cardiff
Cardiff Medics beat the University of
Manchester 49 -35.
REPRESENTATIVE
SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIES V ENGLISH
UNIVERSITIES
3 April 2007, University of Edinburgh
After this fixture last year the Scottish
Universities side got close to a win over the
English Universities team, there was a belief
in the Scottish side that this could be their
year, but the English team was strong and
fresh from their close defeat by the National
team of Scotland.
The Scottish Universities scored the first
goal of the game, but it was hard fought and
although the first 5 minutes were close, the
English Universities side pulled away with a
convincing first quarter lead.
The lead they established in the first quarter
was added to every quarter thereafter but
not easily, as the Scottish side never gave up
and although forced by the English to shoot
from the edge of the semi circle, they began
sinking incredible shots.
They broke through the English Zone
defence, but the English team were
individually stronger and found it easier to
play down the court than the Scottish team
who were fighting the Zone.
The final score was 58-25 to the English
Universities team.
Teams:
Scottish Universities: Lesley Turnbull (c)
(Strathclyde), Cheryl McEwan (Edinburgh),
Terri-Claire McWaters (Edinburgh), Shona
Jenkins (Edinburgh), Claire Brownie
(Edinburgh), Nicola Jarvie (Napier), Emily
Rendall (Heriot Watt), Catrina Campbell

Eight-ball Pool
BUSA CHAMPIONSHIPS
23-25 February 2007, Spondon
Team Championship
Holders Essex performed well through to
the Semi-Finals. However, their dream
of being the only team ever to retain the
Championship was ended by tournament
surprise package Gloucestershire who
won their Semi-Final meeting 6-3. In the
other Semi-Final, the University of Ulster
(Coleraine) who had been progressing well
through the tournament beat York 6-0.
Although Gloucestershire had numerous
chances to take key frames it was not to be
and Ulster marched to their first title with a
6-3 victory.
Team Trophy
The Semi-Finals of the Team Trophy were
both exceptionally tight affairs with the
University of the West of England 1st
scraping past Essex 2nd 6-4. The second
Semi-Final was tighter and went to a shoot
out with Durham 2nd edging out York 2nd
7-6. In the Final UWE proved too strong,
running out convincing winners 6-2 over
Durham 2nd.
Individual Championship
Nottingham’s Paul Edwards took the
Individual Championship, his third title in
four years, an outstanding achievement.
Edwards met Martin Pratt (Durham) in the
first Semi-Final. It was a fantastic contest
which Edwards edged 5-4. The second
Semi-Final was also a tight affair with former
BUSA Snooker Champion Pritesh Patel
(Bristol) overcoming impressive debutant
Nick Whitelaw (Central Lancs) 5-3. The Final
was to prove a more one-sided affair as
Paul Edwards punished every single mistake
made by his opponent and ran away with
the match 5-0.
BUSA SHIELD
9-11 February 2007, Spondon
The Shield was a new competition for
season 2006-2007 and it was a team new
to University Pool that took the honours.
Keele University emerged undefeated from
the weekend’s competition and ended the
event with a comprehensive 6-1 defeat of
one of the pre-tournament favourites St
Andrews in the Final.
REPRESENTATIVE
Home Nations Championships
20-21 April 2007, Trinity and All Saints
College, Leeds
England retained the Home Nations beating
Wales in a one-sided Final. The round robin
stage began with both England and Wales
progressing well until Scotland beat England
11-10 in a tense match. This set up a virtual
‘winner takes all’ match against Wales – the
winners progressing to the Final. Wales
won 11-10 with chances missed on both
sides in the nervy final frame. In the Final
itself England got away to a 6-1 lead which
proved far too much for Wales eventually
wining 7-2 to retain their title.

British Universities Rowing again enjoyed
a hugely successful season, running the
largest regatta ever held in Britain with over
1,000 crews and 4,450 athletes taking part,
increased participation in Beginner Rowing,

enjoying great success at International level.
INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
18 November 2006, National Indoor Arena,
Birmingham
Over 2,500 athletes turned out at the
National Indoor Arena in Birmingham for
the Concept2 British Indoor Championships,
comfortably the biggest Indoor sports event
in the UK and in BUSA terms one of the
largest week-end tournaments on the BUSA
calendar.
The 653-strong BUSA entry featured over
150 Freshers taking part in the First Round
of the “Chase For The Eight”; racing was
phenomenally tight both in the four BUSA
Individual categories raced over 2kms and
in the four-person 1km team races. Most of
the “stars” of Indoor are closely connected
with British Universities, the GB World
Champions Mens 4- racing against World
Champion Graham Benton (now learning to
row at Reading University)… it was great
to see current stars who learned to row
at University (Hodge at Staffs and Reed at
UWE) and BUSA multi-medallists (Partridge
and Williams with Brookes) putting their
reputations on the line.
The C2 Indoor Overall BUSA Championship
(based on the best athletes in each category)
overall Ladies Team (best eight finishers)
went to Oxford and the Men’s Team to
Cambridge
SMALL BOATS HEAD OF THE RIVER
28 October 2006, River Trent, Nottingham
Imperial and Newcastle brought their star
GB athletes to the River Trent to contest the
first “stand-alone” running of the BUR BUSA
Small Boats Championship. The size of entry
for the 2006 February Championship Head
necessitated a rethink on the format of the
BUR BUSA Head Races for this season and
the decision to run the Small Boats separately
was rewarded with an increase in entries to
81 boats. “Perhaps hard to know when in the
season to best run this, but this fitted pretty
well all things considered and was a well-run,
high quality Head…. the ideal opportunity to
chase the BUSA Points our Director of Sport
wants” commented Imperial College guru
Simon Cox, who brought his full senior
squad to contest most of the twelve
categories on offer.
HEAD OF THE RIVER CHAMPIONSHIP
25 February 2007, River Trent, Nottingham
Supported by Oarsport, Concept2 and
Godfrey Sports
Over 1,300 athletes in 365 crews contested
the BUR BUSA Championship Head, now the
largest University Head race in the world in
only its fourth year. Racing was exciting and
fast on the quick Trent stream, with several
dead heats and, for the first time overseas,
opposition coming to compete in the shape of
the Faculty of Economics crew from Zagreb
University in Croatia, led by Josip Kostelic.
Several changes had been made to the
format of this event for 2007 in an attempt
to create a better racing environment for the
crews travelling from 42 Universities as far
as Lancaster, Teesside, London and Plymouth
to race on the Trent in Nottingham. Just two
divisions of racing with a larger recovery gap
over lunchtime helped crews recover and boat
safely, thus also promoting better racing for all.
Durham again picked up the Concept2
Fresher’s points with their Men’s Eight again
leading home Newcastle. It will be fascinating
at the Regatta to see how squads will play the
final roll of the dice, with Durham needing to
win all four remaining C2 races to take the
WinTech.
In all 11 Universities took home medals, at
Gold level Oxford Brookes (4 Gold’s) being the
most successful, although Durham’s overall
haul (2G, 4S, 2B) is also well worth a mention.
CHAMPIONSHIP REGATTA
5-7 May 2007, National Water Sports Centre
Nottingham
The biggest Rowing Regatta in Britain and
biggest BUSA Championship, the 2007
Regatta hosted over 1,000 crews (a milestone
for British Rowing) with over 4,450 athleteseats
from 60 Universities contesting over
250 races
Saturday saw some very tight racing, Bristol
rallying in the last few strokes of the M4- to
beat Newcastle on the line by 0.2 of a second,
Brookes taking the equivalent (and effectively
GB U23 trail) ladies event. A strong Reading
squad started off their campaign by winning
Men’s Coxed Fours and Singles, whilst
Queens Belfast made a first-ever appearance
at the Regatta in Women’s Singles.
With the Concept2 Fresher’s Challenge in
its final rounds tension was very high on the
Sunday, as was the freshening wind. The key
race of the event came in the morning 2km
races when the Newcastle Women, many
of whom had won Novice eights the day
before, pulled past their Durham opponents
in the second half of the course to make
the Fresher’s event, and their reward of a
new eight, safe. The Sprints, flat out over
500m attracted a very large, high class entry.
Reading “international quads” took both
Sprint-Quads titles, Southampton defended
their Ladies Sprint Eights title and London
just beat IC in the Men’s Sprint Eights.
The large Novice fields were headed by
Birmingham Ladies (who also went on to 2km
glory on the Monday) and the IC Men, with
impressive International-squad scullers from
Bath (M1x) and Imperial (W1x) picking up
Sprint-Singles glory.

32
Annual Review 2006-2007
Monday was windy but rowable, IC picking
up both Lightweight Sculls trophies to
again start their day well. Aberdeen were
popular winners of the W2x. In the Ladies
Eights races the full Cambridge Blue and
Reserve (Blondie) crews dominated both
categories, whilst Oxford Brookes were
only narrowly thwarted on a clean sweep
in Men’s Junior eights when Durham
just overhauled the Brookes fourth eight
to take a bronze, behind the Brookes
Novices who had won Novice eights the
day before, and the Brookes second
eight. Durham’s points here ensured they
retained the VL Halladay Bowl.
The Men’s Eights is often incorrectly
viewed as the main race of the Regatta,
but this year saw one of the closest and
best ever races. Newcastle narrowly
failed in a fantastic challenge to overturn
a magnificent Brookes eight crammed
full of GB Internationals, they managed
to hold off Newcastle by under a second,
largely due to a phenomenal push after
500m gone that gave Brookes the winning
margin that they then clung on to for the
final mile!
32 Universities achieved BUSA
Championship points at what may
well be the last BUSA Regatta held at
Nottingham. The venue for 2008 is still
under discussion, but will probably see
the Regatta leave its traditional home
after 15 years of tremendous growth.
The BUR event team would like to thank
everyone who has volunteered, competed
or supported the event over the years.
EUSA ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS
1 - 3 September 2006, Brive, France
The BUR Team successfully defended their
European Title in September, capturing the
EUSA Salver ahead of 12 other nations
at the 2nd EUSA Regatta, becoming the
most successful British Rowing Team
competing this summer. The EUSA
Regatta increased in size and quality
from its Cardiff beginnings in 2005, with
numerous World Under 23 medallists and
Senior World Championship competitors
enjoying excellent racing conditions.
Rugby Fives
BUSA CHAMPIONSHIPS
24-26 November 2006, Oundle School,
Oundle, Nr. Peterborough
With 48 entries in the singles and 26
for the doubles, the 2006 Rugby Fives
Championships once more had a strong
turn out.
The singles competition saw players from
6 different Universities reach the quarterfinals.
Beverly (Cambridge) had a hard first
game against Mogford (SOAS) but won the
second easily as his opponent tired. Brooks
(Cambridge) and Korris (Leeds) were well
matched, Brooks winning narrowly in the third
game. Grant (UCL) and Pendergrass (Oxford)
contested one of the best matches of the
competition, with the result in doubt until the
very end, while Lee (Durham) defeated Gibbor
(UCL) comparatively easily.
Beverly had a comfortable victory over his
doubles partner Brooks in the first Semi-Final,
while Lee detained Grant in a lengthy battle
which the UCL man finally won in the third
game. In the Final the next morning, Grant
was always under pressure from Beverly’s
forceful hitting and well-judged length,
and the Cambridge number one ran out a
deserved winner.
The doubles competition had fewer close
matches in the latter stages, although the
second round showed the considerable depth
of University talent this year. The Semi-Finals
saw the fancied Cambridge pair of Beverly
and Brooks defeat the scratch London duo of
Ellison and Hardyment without having to be at
their best, while Durham (Lee & Mohammed)
were given a much closer match by Korris
and Marshall of Leeds, who faded in the
second game. The Final was one-sided, with
Cambridge in full flow while Durham strove in
vain to stem the tide.
There was some excellent Fives in the
Plate events, including the match of the
Championships in the Final between UCL
(Gibbor & Pleming) and Durham (Hay &
Midmer). Hawke (Southampton) won the
singles Plate for the second year running – an
unusual if not unique achievement.

REPRESENTATIVE
RUGBY FIVES ASSOCIATION (RFA) v BUSA
4 February 2007, Christ’s Hospital, Horsham
The RFA emerged victorious from this annual
clash with the BUSA side made up of the
best Rugby Fives students in the country.
The teams of six took to the courts of Christ’s
Hospital and the RFA immediately seized the
advantage, winning all six singles matches to
take a 53-point advantage into the doubles.
Here, however, the games were much closer,
and eventually shared equally between the two
teams. Indeed, so close was the competition
that no one pair from either side won all its
four games. For BUSA, the pairing of Dan
Grant and Will Ellison was the most successful,
winning three of their games, while the RFA’s
Dave Hebden teamed up with Ed Fuller, also
winning three of their four games.
Although the BUSA team secured a ten-point
advantage over the 12 games of doubles, the
damage had already been done in the singles,
and the RFA team’s experience ensured they
held on for a deserved overall victory.

Rugby League
CHAMPIONSHIP
28 March 2007, Headingley Stadium, Leeds
Leeds Metropolitan University continued
their dominance of student Rugby League
this season with a double success. Their
First team demolished a spirited, but
ultimately outgunned St Mary’s outfit 66–10
in the Championship Final with their second
team matching them with a 34–14 success
of their own against Sheffield Hallam in the
Final of the Shield.
Whilst flying winger Rob Worency took the
accolades with a four try haul, including a
breath taking length of the field effort, it was
Captain Marvel, Jon Nicholls who earned
the Man of the Match Award with an all
action display, his last for the Met, before
graduation this summer.
This was by no means a one sided affair,
St Mary’s hardly put a foot wrong in the
first half and with a crafty half back pairing
of Steve Owen and Peter Madigan probing
away when ever their forwards had found
them space the Met were always tested.
It was the Yorkshiremen who struck first,
however, when Tom Tsang, standing in for
Ian Gordon who was on Carnegie Challenge
Cup duty with Batley Bulldogs, crossed first.
A swift handling move to the left made the
space for the pacey full back to dive over in
the left corner before McKinley pushed the
conversion attempt wide.
Worency and Giblin posted quick fire try’s
of their own with McKinley finding his
range to take the score out to 16–0 before
St Mary’s had even had a real attacking
chance. Good work by Coogan and Madden
in the forwards set up the position for
Price to feed Brunskill who piled through
the Met defence close to line to keep the
Londoners in with a sniff. When John
Sullivan burst over from acting half back
and McTaggert tagged on the extras the
raucous Simmies crowd sensed a come
back was on the cards. Nicky Walker had
other ideas, however, when on the stroke
of half time the big centre crashed through
a weak tackle and raced 20 metres to the
line to put the Met back in the ascendancy
at 22–10 at half time.
Met came back after half time with an
almost perfect second half display. With a
90% completion rate, the Leeds outfit were
almost unstoppable with Worency cutting
the defence up every time he touched the
ball. The most noticeable of his second half
hat trick was his final try where he picked
up in his own ten, danced in field before
breaking the defensive line and heading
on a 90 metre run to the try line to cross
under the posts. George Coogan and Dave
McMeekan kept battling for St Mary’s but
the Met’s defence held firm and further
tries from Clarke, Garside, Carbutt and
Moore along with McKinley’s 5 conversions
kept the scoreboard ticking over. It was
fitting that the final try of the night went
to Leeds Metropolitan’s John Nicholls who
supported a Carbutt break to sign off his
Student Rugby League career in style by
placing the ball down over the line after
rounding the St Mary’s full back.

EUROPEAN STUDENT CHAMPIONSHIPS
19 April 2007, Halton Stadium, Widnes
An impressive second half display, which
saw them run in five unanswered tries,
gave England the European Student
Championships as they defeated Ireland
36–4 in the Final at Halton Stadium, Widnes.
The opening quarter was typically robust and
uncompromising but with few clear chances;
second row Joe Flaherty opening the
scoring in the 23rd minute for the Irish after
following a neat break by Tom Gaffney.
One of England’s players of the tournament,
Kevin Till, replied with one of his trade mark
short range bursts and on the half hour mark
Mike Johnson gave the Red and Whites the
lead that they never relinquished.
After the break England showed the greater
composure as they took control of the
game. Mark McKinley and Danny Garside
posted tries in back to back sets to establish
their dominance and the English finished
impressively. A well worked move saw Tom
Lever power over followed by Danny Wilson’s
80 metre effort before Garside completed
the scoring when he pounced on a well
placed kick to finish with a personal haul of
ten points.
Rugby Union
This season has seen an increase in
the number of fixtures played in the
Domestic Championships and more players
participating at all levels of the game.
The Rugby Football Union has been
particularly supportive of university rugby
and gave financial assistance to over 100
universities who submitted Development
Plans. Numerous universities also initiated
coaching, refereeing and volunteer
recruitment projects.

Annual Review 2006-2007
279 teams competed in the Domestic
Championships, and in order to provide
more fixtures for an increasing number of
players, the number of teams in the majority
of leagues was increased. It is difficult
to achieve parity at all levels, although,
generally, the majority of fixtures were evenly
contested.
Northumbria won Premiership North A,
Leeds Metropolitan won Premiership North
B. The Durham home fixture against
the University of Nottingham was again
played on a Wednesday evening in front
of approximately 4,000 spectators with all
proceeds going to charity.

The Irish fixture was played in typical Dublin
weather of high wind, snow, sleet, rain
and bright sunshine, and despite leading
for most of the game the strong Irish team
scored twice in the last 10 minutes to
win 21-10. England had the edge in the
forwards but the experienced Irish backline
posed more threat throughout the game.

5 May 2007, RFU Twickenham
The team showed minor changes from
Ireland and clearly benefited from an extra
day’s preparation. This was displayed on
the pitch in a comfortable 39-6 victory
containing some really good Rugby and
one of the best tries of the season. Credit
must go to the Combined Services for their
extra efforts in the promotion of this fixture;
they also were good hosts and provided an
impressive trophy and sponsorship for the
match.

FLEET RACING CHAMPIONSHIP
5 November 2006, Weymouth and Portland
National Sailing Academy
Over 300 sailors competed in four fleets
(Laser, Laser II, Firefly and Handicap) over
the 2 days, in light winds, with four races
being completed. Southampton University
won the team prize having won the firefly
and gaining a first and third in the handicap
fleets.
MATCH RACING CHAMPIONSHIP
17 March 2007, Queen Mary Sailing Club
(QMSC), Staines
20 teams were reduced to 10 through
Northern and Southern qualifiers, racing
against each other in identical J/80s. 10
teams attended the finals and were greeted
with a forecast of wild winds. The race
committee was keen to get as many flights
in as possible on the Saturday, eventually
managing 10 flights, with all teams racing
at least four matches. The overnight leader
was Nick Cherry of Southampton with
six wins and no losses. He was closely
followed by Robbie Allam helming for Cardiff
with four wins and one loss, Jon Pinner of
Cambridge with ‘three and a half’ wins and
one loss (having been docked half a point
for damage) and Stephen Powell of Exeter 1
with five wins and two losses. As the teams
rigged the boats on Sunday, the committee
boat was already on the water measuring
gusts of over 30 knots. Even with reefed
sails the two teams that attempted to
sail struggled in the building breeze and
racing was postponed and all crews sent
ashore. After three hours of waiting the
wind still continued to build and racing was
abandoned for the day. As a full round
robin was not completed the results were
taken from the percentage of wins. Winner
and runner-up Cherry and Allam were also
invited to attend the RYA National Match
Racing Finals at Weymouth on October
12-14.

Near perfect sunny skies and a brisk northeasterly
breeze greeted competitors as they
took to the Solent for the first days racing
with 31 identical boats fighting for position
on the line. A good start from Southampton
Solent saw them win the first race and set
the standard that the other competitors
would have to match. Showing southern
dominance, Southampton University finished
the first day, close behind their local
rivals Southampton Solent University. The
Southampton teams continued to sail with
prowess and by the end of the third day they
had emerged ahead of the rest of the fleet
as the challengers for the BUSA title. Going
into the last day with two races scheduled
Southampton 1 knew they needed to beat
Solent A in both races to claim victory.
Gradient wind caused a postponement
and added to the tension between the
two leading boats. The race committee
managed to get one race in. Solent A
led for most of the race but Southampton
managed to get passed them on the last
run. Overall results saw Solent A finish first
with Southampton University in second and
third. Southampton Solent held on to their
crown for a third year in a row.
TEAM RACING CHAMPIONSHIP (MIXED)
11 April 2007, Bartley Sailing Club, hosted
by the University of Birmingham
The final event of the year was the Team
Racing. Competitors arrived at Bartley
reservoir on the first day to find glorious
sunshine but no wind. On the water the
light airs meant following wind shifts was
very important and led to many changes in
position up the last beat as some competitors
found themselves stuck in windless holes
whilst others read the shifts successfully
and managed to get through from the back
of the fleet. By the end of the group stages
Oxford emerged top of their group not losing
a race, with Bristol and Southampton also
top of their groups. Strong sailing in the
quarter-finals saw the three group winners
and London progress to the Semi-Finals.
Southampton sailed well and came within
touching distance of claiming the title. In the
end, however, they had to settle for second
place behind the Bristol team. Bristol went
on the represent BUSA at the Wilson Trophy

BUSA INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
9–11 March 2007, Willie Thorne Snooker
Centre, Leicester
This year’s Individual Championship
(Senior) comprised an entry of more than
90 students from 21 Universities, as the
new structure for team events had led
to insufficient entries into the Individual
Trophy. Eight players were seeded on the
basis of last year’s Championship and
Home Nations Festival. Continuing the
trend of first-year students doing very well,
Paul Williams became Durham’s first-ever
medallist at BUSA by defeating James
Leung of Nottingham in the Final (3-0).
While Williams played quite well, Leung
did not play as strongly as he had when
defeating former winner Pritesh Patel of
Bristol in the Semi-Final (2-0). In his Semi-
Final, Williams eliminated surprise package
Tom Foley of Southampton in straight
frames.
The Trophy Individual (Junior) will resume
as normal next year.

CHAMPIONSHIP
Semi-Finals
Both matches were nip and tuck, with
perennial challengers Queen’s holding off
Glasgow 6-4 to make it a hat-trick of final
appearances, while a talented Nottingham
team, many people’s favourites, found
themselves in struggling with Bristol. This
match went to 5-5 and a play-off frame
between Patel and Paul Edwards. In the end
the former prevailed to take Bristol into their
fifth British Final but first since 1998.
Third Place Play-off
Nottingham gained some consolation for
their semi-final reverse by holding off
Glasgow 6-5, after yet another play-off
frame.
Final
In a very close match, Queen’s University
Belfast came from 1-0 down, after Patel
edged out Cillian McMulkin on the pink,
to win 3-1 (8-6), all matches going to the
colours in the final frame. Queen’s fifth
player was also on the point of victory
when the end came. Overall Queen’s, the
only undefeated team, were deserving
Champions and now move ahead of
Southampton at the top of the all-time list (7
British titles).
Trophy
For the first time, the Trophy included
four first teams (Durham, Loughborough,
Exeter and Imperial) that had come through
qualifying to join the four top-ranked second
teams. However, Imperial were unable
to field a team at Finals, making life very
difficult for the organisers, and are therefore
relegated to the Shield.
Semi-Finals
Durham and Loughborough had made their
way through the two groups to the Semi-
Finals, where they faced each other, while
Bristol 2 and Cardiff 2 contested the other
match. Durham recorded a narrow victory to
reach the decider, whereas Bristol 2 had a
comfortable passage to the Final.
Third Place Play-off
Cardiff 2 had an impressive 6-3 victory over
Loughborough to win the bronze medals.
Final
Durham proved a little too strong for Bristol 2
in the Final, winning 3-1 in matches (7-5 in
frames). Still, Bristol 2 put up a very good fight
and clearly proved themselves the strongest
of this year’s second teams. Durham’s win
meant a title going to the north-east in only
their second season in BUSA.
Shield
17 February 2007, Willie Thorne Snooker
Centre, Leicester
York 2 won the inaugural BUSA Shield with a
hard-fought 6-4 victory over Nottingham 2 in
the Final. Warwick 3 won bronze.
Plate
York had the consolation of winning the Plate
after a close match with Warwick 2 (6-4).
Breaks
The overall standard of play and strength in
the three team events was even better than
last year, which had been the pick of recent
times. In the Senior, 36 breaks over 40 were
recorded, with ten over 50, double last year’s.
Andy Hutchinson of Queen’s took the laurels
with a nice 59, bettering Graeme Pringle of
Glasgow by one point.
The quality of breaks in the Trophy events was
above average, with seven over 30.
The Shield saw some very good breaks by
York players, particularly Andrew Whyatt’s 43.
REPRESENTATIVE
Home Nations Festival
13-14 April 2007, GUU, Glasgow
The Home International returned to the GUU
in Glasgow, considered the “spiritual home” of
the event. Northern Ireland were attempting to
win an unprecedented four consecutive BUSA
titles but were edged out by England on an
8-10 scoreline after a titanic battle. Scotland
finished in third place. The all-Cardiff Welsh
team struggled but never gave up. As ever,
this competitive event proved very popular
with the players and will be held in N. Ireland
next time.
England also won the parallel HE Home
Internationals in which Ireland participates.
Five players won all of their matches, one
from England and two each from N. Ireland
and Scotland, with home captain Gavin
McGuire (Abertay) having a 66 clearance to
head the breaks board.
OTHER NEWS
The membership appears strongly in favour
of holding the Shield at Finals weekend, to
add to everyone’s enjoyment of that unique
weekend.
2006-07 also marks the end of the
qualifying events, as teams are now
allocated to one of the three team events
based on their ranking. The top two seeds
for next season in each event are: Queen’s 1
and Bristol 1; Southampton 1 and Bristol 2;
Exeter and Imperial.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Snooker Management Group would like
to thank Riley’s Ltd and Matt King, general
manager of the Willie Thorne Snooker
Centre, for hosting the qualifying rounds

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks must be extended to the BUSC team
at Edinburgh for all their hard work of the
2006-2007 season, ensuring not only the
BUSA Championships take place, but also
a significant number of other events, all
adding to the calendar for student skiers and
boarders.
Squash
This season certainly had an exciting start
and an exciting finish in what was an
exceptional season for BUSA squash.
The unprecedented success of the GB team
at the World University Championships in
Hungary in early September (see report
below) was recognised with the team being
presented on court during the Finals of the
British Open.
The only significant change to the format
of events was the standardisation of
Women’s team size to 4 players, so a 2-2
to encourage more female teams, although
participation in Women’s squash in HE is still
well above the national average for female
participation.
The Individual Championships have
maintained higher entry levels of the
previous 2 years, operating at maximum
capacity for the 7-court venue over 3 days.
The Women’s Team Final produced another
new contender for the title, with new
title-holders Birmingham facing Leeds.
The new 4-string format produced an
exciting climax: 2-2 draw in matches
with Birmingham winning 7-6 on game
countback to retain its title for the 2nd
year with a team which remains intact for
another year.
No-one really dared predict the outcome
of the Men’s Team Final between
Loughborough, winners of the Premier
League, and Birmingham going for its
4th consecutive title. A match generally
scheduled for 2½ hours maximum, two
critical individual matches each lasted just
under 2 hours, both finishing 9-7 in the 5th
game in Birmingham’s favour to clinch them
the title. Congratulations to Birmingham for
achieving the double (Men’s and Women’s
Championships) for 2 consecutive years.
Finally, congratulations to Birmingham’s
Squash Team for being awarded BUSA
Team of the Year, and to Emma Beddoes
(Nottingham) for her award of BUSA
Sportswoman of the Year awarded at the
BUSA Awards Dinner.

WORLD UNIVERSITY CHAMPIONSHIPS
29 Aug – 3 Sept 2006, Szeged, Hungary
Team GBR:
Men: Chris Ryder (Lboro), Jonathan Harford
(Bham), Joel Hinds (Bham)
Women: Lauren Siddall (Leeds), Emma
Beddoes (Notts)
Management: Keir Worth (Coach), Ian
Robinson (Manager), Rachel Burgin
(Physiotherapist)
Unusually, the hosts played the team event
first, with Team GBR top seeds, reflecting
its strength in depth. Team GBR won its
group matches comfortably beating Austria
and Germany, followed by a 2-1 win in the
quarter-final against Hong Kong (both GBR
Men won very easily). Team GBR beat South
Africa 3-0 in the Semi-Final to set up a Final
against old adversaries France, winners on 2
previous occasions. With wins from Lauren
and Chris, it meant Jonathan’s dead rubber
1-2 result was irrelevant as Team GBR
clinched team gold.
Both Men’s and Women’s draws were very
unkind to the British players, with both
Lauren and Emma in the same quarter of the
Women’s draw and the 3 Men in the same
half of their draw. Nevertheless, the Team
GBR earned huge respect from their fellow
players as they fought their way through the
draw, Joel Hinds beating the 2nd seed in
round 2 and Jonny Harford in the quarterfinal
before falling to Chris Ryder who went
on to beat Mark Krajcsak (ranked 60 places
higher in the world rankings) to claim the
World Individual title to complement his
earlier Team gold. Joel Hinds (unseeded)
claimed bronze.
In the Women’s event, Lauren and Emma
unfortunately met in the quarter-finals,
with Lauren winning 3-1 to progress to
win bronze in a comfortable 3-0 win in the
play-off.
Team GBR have never failed to achieve at
least one medal at these Championships,
including Team gold in 1996 and Individual
gold in 1998. But 2006 is the most
successful medal trawl yet. Congratulations
to the players and to the management team.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A special thank you to Linda Davie in her
first year as Championship Director for
running such an efficient event across 3
long days, and to Ann Wilson and Simon
Tunley for their loyal support of this event
over many years.
Thanks also to England Squash and its
Performance Director Peter Hirst, for their
continued support, especially of TASS and
Team GBR.
Surfing
CHAMPIONSHIPS
3-4 March 2007, Fistral Beach, Newquay
Plymouth University once again proved it is
a force to contend with after the Men’s team
won the BUSA Surfing Championships for
the sixth time in seven years.
The contest, staged at Fistral Beach,
Newquay, has become an annual closelyfought
competition between South West
universities. With 3 of their 4 team members
making the Final, the win by Plymouth was
an outstanding achievement. Ludovic Henry
(Plymouth) also took to the podium when he
won the Men’s Individual Championship.
The event, supported by Brittany Ferries,
Skinners Brewery and GUL, attracted around
450 students from as far away as Ulster
and Aberdeen. Conditions varied from
perfect surf on the first day to tough onshore
waves on day two. The Finals were met with
consistent 3-4 ft, clean surf which made for
great contestable waves.
Swansea Institute also had plenty to
celebrate, as Jo Dennison won the Women’s
Individual Championship and competed
alone in the Women’s Team event, coming
a respectable eighth place for the Institute.
There was a close contest for the Individual
title between Jo and last year’s winner
Shauna Ward (Ulster), who also gave a
great performance. University of the West of
England scooped first place for the Women’s
team.
University College Falmouth entered a team
for the first time this year. Its Women’s team
was awarded third place and contender
Emma Vardy was thrilled to have a place at
the Women’s podium.
The BUSA Surfing Championships is one of
the largest events of its kind in the world,
with 78 teams from Universities across the
UK competing. For over 20 years the event
has grown and now has more than 435
surfers battling it out in the surf for both
Team and Individual titles.

Table Tennis
BUSA INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
17-18 February 2007, University of
Nottingham
There was an increase in entrants to almost
170 this year, giving the need to increase
the number of tables to 18. Another change
from previous years was the introduction of
a Plate event for the Men’s and Women’s
Singles. This was added after a player survey
highlighted a desire for those knocked out
in the group stages to have an alternative
competition to maintain their involvement in
proceedings on the second day.
There were entrants from 40 Universities with
players from 10 countries in addition to all the
Home Countries being represented.
In the Men’s Doubles Shaun Marples and
Craig Gascoyne (Sheffield Hallam) were
thwarted in their attempt to retain the trophy
from last year with Adam Bleakley and
Stephen Denny (Leeds) taking the title 16-
14 in the fifth game.
Marples had a better run in the Men’s
Singles beating Chris Brown (UWIC) in 5
games in the Final. The number 2 seed
Greg Baker had withdrawn through injury
and the number 1 seed Adam Bleakley lost
in 5 games to Chris Brown at the quarterfinal
stage.
There was a reversal of the seeding in the
Women’s Singles where the number 2 seed
Abigail Embling (Essex) beat the number
1 seed Egle Adomelyte (Middlesex) over 4
games. Abigail took the Women’s Doubles
with Grace Brown with a win over Liz May
and Zuzanna Ximny of Plymouth.
Adomelyte had better luck in the Mixed
Doubles proving victorious with partner
Jade Blasse over Harry Cutler and Liz May

Trampolining
Championships
11 March 2007, University of Surrey
With record number of entries (655) for
the Championships, the prospects for the
Regional Championships looked daunting
but both Manchester and Loughborough
introduced 3 panels and had a full
compliment of judges and therefore the
events took place successfully and within
time. Congratulations to Tristan Matthias
from Loughborough and John from
Manchester and especially Alison Cross,
Superior judge who co-ordinated the
Regional and the Finals.
The University of Surrey has been a
traditional venue for the Championships for
many years for the Finals. An outstanding
panel of national and international judges
ensured that the event was professional and
smooth running. The Mayor of Guildford
joined the Surrey team and the Pro Vice
Chancellor to enjoy a stunning performance
from the 63 elite (National) performers
and the Final qualifiers for the novice,
intermediate and advanced competitions
The day culminated with presentations for
the individual awards and Team Trophy which
was won by Manchester, 2nd UWIC and
3rd Bath.
The day was made even more special by the
attendance of the ‘founding fathers’ of British
Trampolining, Bert Scales and Rob Walker,
who presented the major awards.

CHAMPIONSHIPS
4 May 2007, St Mary’s School, Calne,
Wiltshire
A record 221 competitors took part in
the 2006-2007 Triathlon Championships,
which were once again held at St Mary’s
School. Loughborough sent a huge squad
of 38 competitors, but saw a number of
their top Men disqualified due to ‘drafting’
in the cycling section. This allowed James
Third (Cambridge) to hold off the challenge
of both Tom Room (Bath) and Oliver
Stanley (Loughborough) to take the Men’s
title. The Women’s competition was a
close race, with the top three competitors
involved in a sprint to the finish. It was
Abbie Thorrington (Essex) who had the
best speed and stamina at the end, just
edging out Carol Bridge (Loughborough)
and Alice Hector (Stirling).

Volleyball
FINAL 8’S CHAMPIONSHIPS
9-11 March 2007, Loughborough University
Over 150 teams entered the 39th BUSA
Volleyball Final 8’s Championships, a
journey that started last October. Five
months, and at least ten games later,
the top eight Men’s and Women’s teams
progressed to the concluding stages of the
Championship.
The Championship Finals began with teams
split into pools of four playing three matches
to qualify for the Semi-Finals.
In the Women’s Championship Semi-Finals,
London was too strong for Cambridge,
winning in straight sets. In the second Semi-
Final, Bath were forced to work hard against
Manchester going to the tie break set but
eventually securing their place in the Final.
The Women’s Championship Final saw
defending Champions London control the
opening set, winning 25-16. The second
set was much closer with the lead changing
hands several times before Vicki Palmer
(Bath) hit and then served winners to take
the set 25-22.
Strong Bath serving, and controlled passing
from Palmer and Mulling put them in
the box seat in the deciding set, winning
comfortably 15-5. This is the first time Bath
University has won the Women’s Volleyball
Championships.
Loughborough faced defending Champions
London in the first Men’s Championship
Semi-Final and dominated the early
exchanges, controlling the net and taking the
first set 25-18. London raised their game
and Dockland’s Nik Ruh distributed the ball
with accuracy and purpose enabling London
to take the second set 25-18.
The tie break was desperately close with
never more than a point between the teams.
Excellent hitting was matched by spirited
defence leading to enthralling rallies before
two big hits from Dockland’s Albrecht Glitz
have London the vital breakthrough to edge
the match 19-17.
In the second Men’s Semi-Final Sheffield
Hallam faced Bournemouth. The evenly
matched teams traded point for point in the
early stages, but the game swung when the
Bournemouth setter broke a finger blocking
Wayne Davies (Sheffield Hallam). This was
pivotal and Bournemouth was not able to
sustain their challenge and Sheffield Hallam
ran out comfortable winners 25-16, 25-11.
The Final was watched by around 150
people banging drums, with air horns and
creating a great atmosphere with the teams
rising to the occasion.
London held an early lead but Hallam
clawed back level by the high teens, only for
Glizt and Massous to strike and give London
a 22 - 20 lead. Another twist, a service
error, passing error and a miraculous pick
up by Mike Melbourne saw Hallam take the
first set 25-22. London came back strongly
with Glitz in awesome form hitting and jump
serving, taking and holding a lead all the
way through to take the second set 25-18.
Another tie break to the delight of the
crowd. Hallam started strongly and a power
hit and roof block by Tom Ward saw them 8-
5 up at the turn. London tried to come back
but the damage was done, Hallam keeping
the upper hand to win 15-12. This is
Sheffield Hallam fourth Men’s Championship
title in the competitions 39 year history.
The win takes them to third place in overall
winning with only Leeds and Manchester (6
titles each) ahead.

Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish and English
Universities competed for the title, with
additional matches against guest sides
Oxbridge and Republic of Ireland Students
(Men) and Tameside and Chester &

levels of commitment and energy. The
partisan spectators only added to the
atmosphere.
In the end English Universities completed
a win double. The Women retained their
title with solid displays, controlling all their
matches and closing out when required.
The Men regained the title after a two year
gap thanks to a dramatic Final game win
over Scotland.
Scotland took an early lead in the first set,
increasing it to six points by the mid teens
before holding off the England fight back
to close on 25-23. The second set saw
England come back into the game and
dominate with string hitting from Ward and
Punnackl to take it 25-21.
At one set all the match was to be decided
in the 3rd set. Nip and tuck, 8-7 at the
change over. A quick break by England to
take a two point lead, but Scotland would
not let go and clawed back to 11 all. Points
traded, big hits, spectacular defence and
wholehearted commitment got the crowd
on their feet. Scotland lead, England
have match point, Scotland block to level.
England hit another winner and then get a
transition ball forcing an error to win 19-17
to unleash celebrations from the players
and their supporters.

Water Polo
TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
3 - 4 March 2007, Walsall Gala Baths
The Semi-Finals of the Men’s and Women’s
were held at Walsall Gala Baths over the
week-end of 3/4 March, 2007. This season
saw the introduction of 4 x 5 minute periods
of play which was well received by all
competitors. Six Universities had both Men’s
and Women’s qualified and it was possible
to ensure that both teams played on the
same day.
The first day the Men’s competition was
dominated by London who had little difficulty
in winning all their matches. Manchester
had closer results with Bristol and Newcastle,
but were still able to qualify for the Finals
fairly easily.
In the Women’s competition Loughborough
won two of their matches easily but had a
close 8-6 win over Manchester. Unfortunately
Manchester were unable to play as well
again and lost to London 10-8 in a close
match. London then defeated Newcastle
8-6 to qualify.
On the second day, apart from a few
matches, the results were closer. Cardiff were
the strongest team in the Men’s competition
and Edinburgh produced their best results
ever to proceed to the Finals.
In the Women’s event Cardiff played well to
defeat Edinburgh 6-1, but both teams then
won their remaining matches to proceed to
the Finals. Southampton and Sheffield had a
great match with the latter, behind by 5 goals
at the end of the third period to level the
scores in a 10-10 draw.
Final
17-18 March 2007, University of Nottingham
The Finals were held at the University of
Nottingham pool with the usual enthusiasm
and noise. Unusually three universities,
London, Cardiff and Edinburgh had qualified
with Men’s and Women’s teams and were
joined by Manchester in the Men’s and
Loughborough in the Women’s events.
The London Men’s team were strengthened
by the return of their GB player and defeated
Manchester 13-8, Cardiff 15-6, Edinburgh
19-6 to retain the Championship. The
matches between the other teams were
closer with Manchester defeating Cardiff 10-
7 and Edinburgh 8-6 to take second place.
The Loughborough Women’s team defeated
London 11-7 but had a close match with

The build up to the 2012 Olympics has
benefited BUSA Water Polo considerably.
Funding has been provided to train the
potential team for the Olympics and as part
of the development plan GB have provided

excellent support they have given over many
years.
Windsurfing
BUSA CHAMPIONSHIPS 2007
21-22 April 2007, Calshot Activity Centre,
Southampton
The BUSA Championships have been the
finale to the student Windsurfing season
for the last 13 years and is traditionally the
toughest of all the core events.
With light winds predicted for the whole
weekend, race officer Pete Boustred set 3
testing course races in the morning which
did well to spread the fleet. The wind got up
to a light F4 and some of the shortboarders
managed to do well in the conditions. It was
clear though, after the first set of races that
the longboarders had the advantage as top
UK racer Hugh Sims-Williams (Bristol) and
James Bullied (Exeter) came home 1 and 2 in
each of the races.
In the afternoon the upwind buoy was
abandoned and a figure of 8 slalom course
was set, by this time the winds had dropped
slightly and the longboarders still had the
advantage. In the end Sims-Williams came
out on top followed by Bullied and Seb
Graham of Southampton took the 3rd place.
Dylan Watt of Southampton ended up on
equal points with Seb but lost out on 3rd due
to his higher discards.
In the Women’s competition there was a very
close battle for the top spots, with last year’s
Champion Tanya Saleh (Bristol) battling it out
with Imperial’s Alice Monk and SWA series
leader Erica Phillips of York. Once again
Saleh came out on top followed by York, with
Monk in third. This was a very close run thing
with only a few points separating the top 5
Women.
In the second division racing was held in the
lagoon at Calshot. Some quality racing took
place and Dave Coulthurst of Bristol came
out on top, followed by Giles Munro-Faure
of Southampton and Steve Clareboats of
Cardiff. Jess Bennett of Southampton did
extremely well to finish 9th overall and first in
the Women’s. Gemma Onslow of Nottingham
came 2nd with S Pongu of Birmingham
claiming 3rd.
On the Sunday Team Racing was the order
of the day and the decider for the Overall
University title. 13 teams in all entered which
is a record and considering the light winds
they all did exceptionally well. The big battle
was between Bristol and Southampton, and
Bristol started well winning the first race
with Southampton in second and Oxford in
third. Bristol needed to win the remaining two
races to secure the Overall Championship
title but the superior pumping tactics of the
Southampton team came through and they
took the next two races and the title. Bristol
came second and Cambridge managed to
beat their old rivals Oxford into third.

LUCOZADE SPORT
BUSA athletes have continued to benefit
from the partnership with Lucozade Sport
throughout 2007. Highlights from this year
include the visit of the Lucozade Sport
Science Academy (LSSA) Experiential
Vehicle to the Indoor Athletics and
Basketball Final 8’s and the Outdoor Games.
The vehicle - manned by 2 of the LSSA’s
sport scientists – offered both athletes and
spectators the opportunity to increase their
knowledge on all aspects of nutrition and
hydration, and to sample products from
the LSSA’s High Performance Range. The
interactive vehicle will be visiting events
throughout 07-08 so look out for it at your
university!
The specialist products that Lucozade Sport
has to offer via the LSSA also played an
integral role in BUSA training camps and
competitions throughout the world, helping
to give student athletes the edge. Chris
Ryder (Loughborough) was fuelled by the
LSSA’s high performance product range at
the World University Squash Championships
in Hungary where he won both individual
and team gold medals. ‘Having access
to Lucozade Sport, and the additional
nutritional support, was a great help during
the tournament. Playing twice a day I used
Body Fuel (2-3 per day), Hydrate and Energy
bars. The Energy Bars in particular are great
during tournaments as you can have them
half an hour before a match and not feel
weighed down. This definitely helped give
me the edge on court.”
The nutritional support available to BUSA
also continued throughout 2007 in the
form of advice and services to BUSA’s elite
coaches and medical staff, who with direct
access to Lucozade Sport dietitians, were
able to access relevant sports nutrition
and hydration advice that could be easily
translated into practical solutions for
their athletes.
All of the above support will continue
throughout 2007-08 and all athletes
can benefit from the LSSA’s expertise by
visiting their online educational resource
at www.thelssa.com and can access a
15% discount on Lucozade Sport products
