We are in the full swing of Varsity now, with the main week of sport kicking off on Wednesday 6th March.
The words ‘you couldn’t write this stuff’ comes to mind when talking about 2013’s boxing Varsity. In front of the watchful eye of Sheffield professional fighter Kell Brook, Hallam’s Tom Housley claimed a knockout victory over Uni’s Simon Hinds.

Team Sheffield Hallam’s Ultimate Frisbee squad competed against the best teams in the Northern and Midlands Regions at the Sheffield Beginners Tournament last weekend. They outperformed their expectations and posted some brilliant results. The two ‘Beginners’ teams finished 2nd and 5th respectively, beating more established teams such as Sheffield University, Leeds, Cardiff and Warwick.
The ‘Experienced’ team finished 7th from 12 entrants with hard fought victories over Hull, Birmingham and Bradford. With an overall rank of second in the Northern region, the club are nicely placed to qualify for the Nationals competition starting on the 27th October at Ponds Forge International Sport Centre.
The weekend also brought success for the women’s squad who competed in the Nottingham Beginners Tournament. The side contained many new and inexperienced members, and although they weren’t competing for the top spots in the competition they were delighted to be presented with the ‘Sprit award’ for outstanding sportsmanship for the first time in the club’s history. Club secretary, Kat Cheng said; “we had so many first year girls, who were all eager to get on the pitch! We ran hard, fought for every disc, and practised what we had learnt in training”.
