It was Sussex's turn to host Varsity and though the weather wasn't quite as glorious as usual the day was the best in recent memory with some of our closest fought matches and a final result of Sussex 4 vs. Brighton 6. We had several fantastic wins including an amazing display from our Rugby Men but the climax of the day was the win from our Rugby Women in the Natalie Naylor Memorial game. This was the last team which included Natalie's team members and the team were proudly cheered on by members of Natalie's family.
Varsity was a fantastic day of sport, sunshine and supporting Sussex! All of our teams played really well in our annual competition against Brighton University and we did better than ever! The scores don't reflect how well we played and a special mention must go to the Rugby Women who fought hard and with a great deal of passion in the Natalie Naylor memorial game. They also managed to raise £222 for the Natalie Naylor Trust Fund. We might not have won a great deal of sport but we had the best looking teams and the best banter!
