Varsity Games - 2004 Results:
The 32nd Varsity Games trampoline match took place
on enemy turf (i.e. Oxford) on Saturday the 28th February.
Events kicked off with the B-team competition. I
was first up to compete, and you could really feel the tension. Solid
performances by all of the competitors saw the competition turn out
to be a very close run thing. In the end, Oxford pipped us to victory
by a mere 0.3 points!
The C-team competition followed. A fantastic performance
by the light blues saw Cambridge students take first, second, third
and fourth places in the overall standings. So we went into the A-team
competition with everything still to play for...
Despite a wonderful display by Andres and a surprisingly
neat routine by Alastair, Oxford took the title in the advanced category,
hence all of the Varsity points and the cup. There were some tough
decisions for the judges to make, but yet another truly impressive
performance by Dan and a beautiful pair of routines by Elaine clinched
it for the dark blues.
And so, after a tasty curry and a little wander around
the city itself, we left Oxford tired and empty handed, but everyone
had good fun, which is what counts. Next year the games return to
Cambridge, and it could be anyone's match!
