There was relative success for the racket sports, with the Men’s 1st team badminton claiming a resounding 8-0 victory against Sunderland Men’s 1sts and Men’s tennis 2nd team taking a 6-4 victory against Sheffield Men’s 2nds. The Women’s badminton 1st team also battled to a 4-4 draw against Huddersfield Women’s 1sts, unfortunately the Men’s badminton 2nd team couldn’t keep York unbeaten and succumbed to a convincing 8-0 defeat against a very talented Sheffield Hallam 2nd team.
It was a tough week for the hockey teams who failed to get any positive results against some very strong opposition. The Men’s 2nd team going down 2-0 to Sheffield Hallam’s 3rd team, the women’s 1sts losing 2-0 to Sheffield University’s 1st team and the Women’s 2nd team falling foul of a 3-0 defeat to Leeds University 5th team.
The footballers also enjoyed mixed fortunes in their first fixture in over two weeks. The 1st XI cruised to a 1-0 victory against a scrappy, ill disciplined Northumbria 4th team in a volatile match marred by sending offs and aggressive opposition. The 3rd XI were on the wrong side of an exciting see-saw result against Hull’s 5th team which saw York battle back from 3-1 down to 4-3 up only to lose 5-4. Men’s 1st team basketball held their nerve to win a very tightly contested varsity match against York St John’s 1st team 65-64.
