15:58 Football Men's 1sts. A group of 12 year olds have started chanting as York miss another great chance to take the lead.

15:33 Football Men's 1sts: The ball has been kicked onto the golf course!

15:33 Matt Cooke is trying to have a stab at the rules of croquet, although its all a bit confusing for him as there are 6 players and 4 balls. Hmm...

15:29 Volleyball Mixed. York bring it back, now leading 11-10!

15:28 Football Men's 1sts. Still 0-0 but York is growing in confidence, with good moves on the ball and pressing well out of possession!

15:16 Some amusing play from York No.6 and the York side look as though they are enjoying being in charge of this set, leading 20-6!

15:15 Scrappy start to this half of Football Men's 1sts as both sides look to settle in, no real chance yet though!

15:10 York are playing better as a team in this set of Volleyball Mixed, but they have to keep it going to stop Lancaster from catching up! Currently 9-4 to York.

15:06 Football Men's 1sts have just started and York are looking good in the opening exchanges!

15:05 And now York are 5-0 up in Volleyball Mixed!

15:01 Volleyball Mixed Lancaster dominate third set, winning 25-11.

15:01

14:46 37-37 in Netball 1sts!

14:46 In Volleyball Mixed Lancaster have taken the second set 25-18 and York weren't looking too good at the end of that. That's 1 set so far. Let's hope York can combat Lancaster's tactic!

14:28 Harriet comments that York's number 4 in the Mixed Volleyball is "a bit awesome" as the second set gets under way.

14:10

14:09 Lizzy can't believe that the judges are taking so long to deliberate over three dances!!

14:08

York Judo team looking sharp

14:06 York trail in the Women's football by a goal to nil. Come on girls, sort this game out!

14:05 Mixed Volleyball is under way, and Harriet Evans tells me that YSTV are down there filming. Wouldn't want to make a mistake in front of the cameras if I was playing!

13:58 Oh big moment in the Men's Football 2nds as York equalise!! I said that the next goal would be important, and York have got it! Now, carry the momentum on and go and win the game boys!

13:57 Lizzy informs me that the judges are all sat cross-legged in the corner as they calculate their results! She loves the informality of it all!

13:55 York's dancers have done all they can now as we wait on the results. In Lizzy's opinion, York have a very strong chance of winning!

13:54 And it's half time in the Men's Second's Football with York trailing 2-1

13:44 In Netball 1sts York take the early lead 7-2.

13:41 York still trail in the Men's Second's Football by two goals to one. It's a scrappy game out there and York need to get their foot on the ball and start stringing more passes together with a little more authority and composure if they are to win the match.

13:39 We're back under way in the trampolining after a break due to a Lancaster injuy. Good work from Steph out there who is keeping me nicely informed!

13:37 YUSU president Tim Ngwena is getting involved at the dancing and we are informed by Lizzy that he has said that the dancing will be worth points next year as it has been so well received by the crowds this year.

York do us proud in netball!

13:30 Lancaster pulling things round in the men's seconds football as they now lead 2-1. Big effort needed on 22 acres now from the York lads, and the next goal in that game will be absolutely crucial.

13:28 Lancaster are tap dancing now as Lizzy reports that there are "bright tights and neck chiefs" on show. Gnarls Barkley's "smiling" is on as background music, although I'm not sure how much longer Lancaster will be smiling because the Carter-James Cup is coming home to York, and in some style too!

13:22 Lancaster battle to the end in and win 64-55 in Basketball Men's 1sts . A great game from both sides, and 4 points to Lancaster!

13:22 Fantastic atmosphere down on 22 acres this morning as York start to enter party mode! The Men's Rugby 7's teams proved to be far too good for Lancaster, dominating every game with great authority. It's becoming comprehensive now, and don't we love it!!
