Reports and <strong>College</strong> Activities<br />

Though the results reveal a mixed bag and bouts of mediocrity among more<br />

scintillating performances, we won more than we lost and for much of the season<br />

were formidable. We also took victories against Magdalen and Lincoln, with a<br />

successful 5 a-side season and a friendly against Brasenose to cap off this term.<br />

Frustratingly Balliol, who went on to the Cuppers Final, always seemed to narrowly<br />

have the edge on us (first 7-5 and then 2-1) and we hope to take revenge next year.<br />

Rivals Teddy Hall should also be quaking in their dreary Queen’s annexe at the<br />

prospect of facing a bolstered and largely unchanged Queen’s XI next season.<br />

On the social side, our Michaelmas Santa Dinner, Hilary Black Tie Dinner, and the<br />

QCAFC Tour furnished ample opportunity to develop strong team chemistry and<br />

bring together a large number of the Queen’s undergraduate community in honour<br />

of <strong>The</strong> Beautiful Game. Football is a game that unites. We look forward to further<br />

uniting the <strong>College</strong> after our Cuppers victory next season. Once more will <strong>The</strong> Blue<br />

and White Beast rear its blue and white head to breathe blue and white flames over<br />

the green fields of Oxford.<br />
