Wednesday 11 February saw a whole host of pre-Varsity fixtures as UKC and CCCU faced each other in six fixtures.

However, it was CCCU who drew the first blood as they enjoyed four wins over UKC, with only two of the fixtures going against them. UKC might find some solace in the fact that four of the fixtures were against ‘higher’ Christchurch equivalents, who they will not face in Varsity.

Elsewhere, it was a largely disappointing day for Kent’s teams with nine wins, two draws and eleven defeats.

Some teams were unlucky: the women’s football first team were beaten by a ninetieth minute fluke. But they will not be too disheartened, as they secured an unlikely 3-2 victory over Barming in the South East Counties Women’s Football League Cup Competition’s semi-finals. The final, which takes place on 27 April at Maidstone’s Gallagher stadium, will see them pitted against the top team in their league.

Here are this week’s results in full:
