I’m not really sure if this event still happens at Imperial. But back on 27 February 2008 it was certainly much heralded by the sports centre staff and hence our coverage of it.
With nine different sports, 23 matches and 46 teams, Varsity 2008 was packed with fierce competition. Harlington Sports Ground hosted hockey, football, lacrosse and rugby matches, also at the sports centre: netball, basketball, badminton, squash and waterpolo matches got underway. The day culminated in the J.P.R. Williams Cup match at Richmond Athletic Association Ground between Imperial College and Imperial Medicals Rugby 1st XV teams attracting over 1,000 spectators.
