The first ever Inter-University Octopush tournament was held on Saturday at the Spectrum
Leisure Centre in Guildford. It attracted teams from as far as Bangor and Portsmouth, as
well as local University teams, and was a great success with only one disappointment:
Plymouth University, which has a long and proud tradition of Octopush, was at the last
minute unable to attend because the team's minibus had been double-booked.
This led to the formation of two scratch teams of "oldies", the Octogenarians and the Outcasts. The Octogenarians won all their games, but as they were not an official team, it was the Farnham & Guildford University Youth team that inscribed the first name on the winners' trophy with a series of excellent displays. Organisers Jenny Grimmer and Clare Straiton were delighted with the turnout and the high standard of play, and this looks to be a regular ongoing event. Universities - a call to arms!
Please contact Jenny Grimmer at lnu97jg2@reading.ac.uk
if you would like to participate in next year's tournament.
Full results of the tournament appear after the photographs.
