Varsity Match
18th February 2006, Iffley Road Sports Centre, Oxford
Cambridge 45 – 35 Oxford
The team lined up against a stronger Oxford squad than in previous years, with the result showing the depth that Cambridge
Ladies’ swimming has retained. Individual wins went to Teresa Thurston in 100 butterfly, Anja Slim in 100 breaststroke and
Emma Game in 100 and 200 freestyle. The Ladies’ won the 4 x 50 IM relay by a substantial margin but were narrowly touched
out in the 4 x 50 freestyle.

Other Team Highlights
BUSA
Cambridge drew against Loughborough, lost to the University of London and won against Warwick, allowing Cambridge to go
through to the semi-finals on goal differences.
In the Semi-Finals, Cambridge fell into the same semi-finals group as the University of London and University of Cardiff, both
last year’s Tier 1 finalists. We beat the University of Sheffield and lost to the University of London and the University of Cardiff,
which meant that sadly Cambridge missed out the finals.
