It’s been a particularly successful period for some of the College’s sports teams, and for a number of individual students. The Selwyn men’s first XI football team (pictured below) won the University Cuppers Plate competition, with a tightly-fought 1-0 victory over Emmanuel College in the final. The team was: Matt Sullivan (c), Keir Baker, Jonny Dodd, Joe Hudson, David Alam, Simon Fox, Lawrie Wigham, Ryan Jenkinson, Dave Hawes, Alex Thompson, Lewis Ball, Sam Lumley, Luke Diana, Harvey Roweth.
In Varsity matches: Selwyn’s Katie Holmes, as president of the University women’s rugby team, led Cambridge to a comprehensive 47-0 win over Oxford at Grange Road on March 7th. Also in the Cambridge team was the College’s Helen Lambert. In netball, the Cambridge teams won all three of their matches against Oxford the previous weekend, with Selwyn’s Frances Lee Barber, Nicky Taylor and Emily Coulter in the university first team. The photograph below shows a victorious Emily (left) with the Cambridge president and vice-captain.
In the Varsity men’s water polo, Selwyn’s Ian Cooper (below) played in the Cambridge team that had a last-minute 9-8 win over Oxford.
Elsewhere in College sport: the Selwyn men’s football second team clinched back-to-back promotions with a perfect league record. They played nine and won nine. Congratulations to the team: Ferenc Nadori, Ken Au (C), Dan Jollans, Zsolt Hofstadter, Willem Zwetsloot, Sungwoo Jeon, Tiago Silva, Luke Diana, Marius Ptaszny, Parris Sammut, Clayton Gillespie, Lance Mao, Dan Madridejos, Sam Raby, and Dan Eastment.
