18 James Lockwood, Robinson Alex Coleman, Queens’ Mike Dankis, Girton Mike Adams, St John’s Alex Mugan, Girton Rich Payne, Downing Matt Ellis, Trinity Dave Mills, St Catharine’s Varsity Match Cambridge 1 – 0 Oxford Richard Payne scored the only goal of the game to give Cambridge University their first win against Oxford University in five years. Nearly 3,000 supporters turned out at Fulham’s Craven Cottage to see Payne strike in the 72nd minute. Cambridge University AFC president Dr John Little said: “With Ray Kiddell, the vice-president of the FA, and Jimmy Hill as guests, nearly 3,000 spectators and Fulham FC doing us really proud at Craven Cottage, the staging of the Varsity Match immediately before the Boat Race was a great success. “A Cambridge victory after an evenly-matched encounter was an added gloss.” A film company who work for the Premier League spent some time in Cambridge filming the Varsity preparations and conducting interviews before filming highlights of the match. A five minute piece then went out on FIFA TV on the Friday following the match and attracted e-mails from alumni from all over the world. Other news In its 150th anniversary year the Club toured the USA in April playing Harvard, Yale and Columbia University. PricewaterhouseCoopers continue to sponsor the Club with kit sponsorship from Umbro and grants from the FA as well as the University.

Half Blues awarded 2005 – 06 Fiona Ratcliffe, Newnham Colours awarded 2005 – 06 Gemma Hardy, Fitzwilliam Varsity Match Cambridge 3 – 2 Oxford Buoyed by fantastic support from the sidelines the game kicked off at the frantic pace so characteristic of these occasions. Although all the early pressure was in Cambridge’s favour it was clear from the off that this would be a close match between two physically fit, highly skilful football teams. Having absorbed the early Cambridge surge, Oxford had a period of sustained pressure culminating in a good attempt from outside the box, which hit the bar. However play was soon down the other end and Cambridge won a corner, Rustad swung it in and Hagen headed home (1 – 0). Once again the balance of play swung quickly and it was soon level, after Hagen was judged to have handballed in the area. Acons made the save from the penalty, but Oxford’s Hostetler reacted first to slot home the loose ball (1 – 1). After half time Cambridge came out looking strong, and another Rustad corner found the head of centre back and captain Hollingsworth. However soon after an Oxford cross was bizarrely blown back into the goal on an extremely open and windy pitch and in a cruel twist, the two teams were level once again (2 – 2). 10 minutes to go and both teams were giving everything. A brave run from full back Johansson gave Cambridge a free kick on the edge of the Oxford penalty area. Rustad stepped up to take it, having so perfectly delivered the corners for the first two goals. She struck it well and it cleared the wall and evaded the goalkeeper to make the score 3 – 2. Cambridge held out for the final minutes and thus for the 13th time in 21 matches the Varsity trophy remained in Cambridge. Outstanding Performance Clare Rustad got player of the match, scoring the winning goal with a free kick and playing a part in the other two. Andrea Staid was voted Player’s Player of the match. 2nd Team Varsity Match. Cambridge looked the stronger of the two teams throughout the first half, with the entire team piling on the pressure and surging forwards. However Oxford had a few periods of good play and used their chances well. Their first goal was a scrambled effort that Cambridge keeper O’Dea could do little about (1 – 0). Cambridge responded by attacking rather than sitting deep and good link up play in the midfield, followed by good running by the strikers lead to an equalizer (1 – 1). In the second half, Oxford came out hard and the game got more physical. The Light Blue defence were putting in quality last ditch tackles and the keeper made some excellent saves. At the other end, Cambridge had a couple of good chances and kept pressurising the Oxford back four but unfortunately it wasn’t to be and once again Oxford got a lucky break and put the ball in the back of the net (2 – 1). All in all it was an extremely competitive game that really could have gone either way, but Oxford clinched it on the day. Other Team Highlights 1st team finished 7th out of 12 in the competitive Eastern Region Premier Division The first team play in the Eastern Region Premier Division competing against teams like Norwich, Peterborough, Cambridge City and Cambridge United. Despite a shaky start (our first games of the season are before university term starts so we are short of players) the team did well. Once term started and we had a full squad we beat some of the top teams, notably Cambridge City, winning 4 – 1. Over the season there were outstanding performances by Clare Rustad, Andrea Staid and Claire Hollingsworth. Cambridgeshire County Cup Final 27th April 2006 Location: Cambridge City Stadium Cambridge University lost 2 – 1 to Cambridge City BUSA The 2nd team finished 5th out of 7 in the BUSA midlands conference 3a league with outstanding performances by Lisa O’Dea, Ine Steenmans and Katy Lutley.
