Men’s Varsity Match<br />
4 March 2006, Oxford<br />
<strong>Cambridge</strong> 9 – 6 Oxford<br />
Having watched the Second Team fight a close game, only to lose 11 – 8 through some carelessness in the closing minutes, the<br />
Men’s Blues team took the field. From the opening seconds when Captain Will Hoult lost the face for practically the first time all<br />
season, it was clear this was going to be a tough fight. <strong>Cambridge</strong> were forced onto the back foot and defended well through<br />
a pressurised 20 minutes. What possession they gained was quickly squandered in the rush to head up the field and Oxford<br />
ended the first quarter 2 – 0 up. <strong>Cambridge</strong> came back in the second quarter with goals from Andy Jones and Hoult but a<br />
couple <strong>of</strong> Oxford goals kept the Dark Blues in the lead at half time. After a spirited and competitive final two quarters,<br />
<strong>Cambridge</strong> failed to catch Oxford and the final score <strong>of</strong> 9 – 6 was more than <strong>Cambridge</strong> might have hoped given the standard<br />
<strong>of</strong> the opposition.<br />

Oxford appeared quietly confident whilst warming up and indeed on paper seemed to have a very strong team. However our<br />
warm-up was completed in a focused manner with every player quietly concentrating on her personal game plan. All <strong>of</strong> us<br />
knew what was to be done and how to achieve it.<br />
We went out hard from the first whistle and it seemed as if Oxford did not know what had hit them. The defence was cohesive<br />
and solid and the attack was inspired. After 15 minutes, <strong>Cambridge</strong> were 6 – 0 up and relaxed slightly. This turned out to be a<br />
mistake and Oxford scored some quick goals. The opposition never really felt like a threat and an extremely motivational halftime<br />
talk allowed us to dominate the game and control the pace despite some Oxford goals.<br />
Most Valuable Player went to Welsh International Ros Lloyd. The Kingfishers (second team) won 9 – 7 after an exciting match<br />
with Most Valuable Player going to Lea Michaels.<br />
