The men’s Varsity Match turned into a real classic with a nail biting finale. As they began the final set of three doubles matches on the Friday evening the scores were level at nine matches apiece. Cambridge took the nineteenth match of the series meaning Oxford needed to make sure of both of the others to claim victory. The Dark Blues first doubles pair held the lead over the first Cambridge pair for the opening games. Then the tide turned and Cambridge began to dominate, finally running out winners 5 – 7, 6 – 4, 7 – 5. The second Cambridge pair lost to Oxford but the title was decided 11 – 10 in the Light Blues’ favour. Chairman of the CULTC Sir Geoffrey Cass, who has been involved with Cambridge University tennis for the past 34 years, said: “It was the most exciting match I can remember seeing at this level, a superb testament to the quality of Varsity tennis at the moment and the dedication and excellence of our scholar sportsmen and women.” . Other Team Highlights 5th March 2006, The All England Lawn Tennis Club Cambridge 5 – 3 AELTC A team of six first team players travelled down to the most prestigious tennis club in the world – The All England Lawn Tennis Club.

Now in its 85th year, the Prentice Cup is the oldest international, inter-collegiate amateur tennis competition in the world.

Up against a crew with far more experience and evidently a lot more ‘grunt’ we knew we had to make a fast start to try and rattle Oxford. A great start saw us edge ahead off the stake-boats but by the end of the Enclosures the sheer power of the Oxford crew meant they had gained a half length advantage. With a heavily front loaded race plan we continued pushing hard, holding Oxford at about a length past Fawley. In the latter stages of the race however they pulled away as we began to run out of steam. I am exceptionally proud of the way that the crew raced. Whilst undoubtedly nervous this was by far the best that we had ever rowed, setting up a great rhythm and carrying the fight to Oxford. 59
