<strong>The</strong> QCAFC Men’s 1st XI 2021/22<br />
season burst into action back in<br />
October with wins against Somerville,<br />
Wadham, and Trinity showcasing real<br />
flair and talent. Our new team, battling<br />
it out in the 2nd division, was a fusion<br />
of established club stallions, bullish<br />
freshers who play above their years,<br />
and some nifty new recruits from<br />
St Benet’s and Wycliffe Hall. By an<br />
arcane rule they were allowed to join<br />
<strong>The</strong> Eagles. After the performances<br />
they put in throughout the season, we<br />
weren’t complaining.<br />
Reports and <strong>College</strong> Activities<br />
A burgeoning lust for Cuppers glory and <strong>College</strong>-wide recognition spearheaded<br />
our triumph over top seeded Pembroke (3-1) in the Round of 16. Pete Southwell,<br />
unofficial club mascot and Queen’s doyen, described this as perhaps the best<br />
Queen’s game he’s ever seen. Giddy with the validation, we pressed on to the<br />
Quarter Finals against Teddy Hall. On the touchline, the support for Queen’s was<br />
loud, unparalleled. <strong>The</strong> opposition jeered pea-brained insults through a megaphone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> air was thick with anticipation. We bestrode the pitch, fuelled by Lucozade sport<br />
and Giggs’ Peligro featuring Dave blasting out from the nearest Beats Pill. We went<br />
in with high hopes only to have glory stolen from us by a jammy 1-0 defeat.<br />
