Varsity 2025 Recap

From Wednesday 2nd April to Wednesday 9th April, our sports teams battled with the University of Gloucestershire, with the aim of bringing the Varsity trophy back for a third year in a row.

A dominant start to Gloucester Day at Oxstalls Sports Park saw TeamWorc take a commanding 5-1 lead, before losses in Men's Badminton, Women's Futsal, and American Football gave TeamGlos hope - Varsity 2025 day one ending with the scoreline closely balanced at 6-4.

Split results at Cheltenham Tigers RFC saw the two sides share the points, as Men's Rugby earned a hard-fought 17-15 victory to see TeamWorc lead 7-5 after day two of Varsity 2025.

With the Varsity title on the line, Gloucester City AFC witnessed a spectacle of Football on day three, with Men's Football clinching a 4-3 victory before Women's Football followed them with a 3-2 victory of their own. The two wins on the pitch meant a 9-5 score overall, securing the Varsity title for TeamWorc for a third successive year!

As the hosts of day four of Varsity 2025, we kicked off the ever popular Worcester Arena Night with a Wheelchair Basketball Showcase, as TeamWorc grabbed a 66-56 win over Loughborough. Heading into the Varsity fixtures, with the title confirmed and the pressure off, our Worcester squads shone with Dance, Basketball, and Netball all claiming victory to polish off a 12-5 overall score for TeamWorc!
