The Blues women opened with a decisive three-set victory (25:20, 25:15, 25:20), setting the stage for the men to test their stamina in a point-for-point thriller (16:25, 25:20 , 20:25, 25:22, 15:9).

All four Cambridge University Volleyball Teams will head towards Oxford on Sunday, the 26th February for the long awaited annual Varsity encounter. However, prior to the ever exciting Oxford challenge, the two Blues teams will have to stand up to the best 16 teams in the UK at the Volleyball England Student Cup Finals. After having won their respective pools comfortably at the Qualifiers back in November, both Blues teams are looking forward to the Finals weekend, to take place in Norwich mid February. The Men are determined to fight their way back into the top three in the competition, after gradually having dropped positions since 2007/2008. The Women, whose Student Cup record has been improving over the past two years, are also highly motivated this year, and hope to set a team record by reaching the Semi-Final stage.
