Varsity

VARSITY at team surrey

Varsity is the annual sporting event between the University of Surrey and Royal Holloway. Teams from across both Universities compete in multiple sports to score points and the team with the most points at the end is announced the winner for that year.

The location of the event alternates each year and this year was our turn to host.

The event always has a dedicated fanzone with lots of giveaways and fun activities to get involved in alongside the sporting action. The day always ends with the Mens Basketball finale in the arenas with the game day bleachers out and basketball game day set up.  

Team Surrey beat Royal Holloway 53-31 to retain the Varsity trophy in style.

There was an electric atmosphere at Surrey Sports Park on Wednesday 22^nd March 2023 as Team Surrey won the men’s basketball match 128-63 to end the event and secure victory for a 12^th year in a row.

Other notable scores include a 90th-minute winner for the men’s football to win 2-1, an 8-0 win for men’s hockey and a resounding 105-0 victory for the women’s rugby team.

Whilst Varsity is over for another year, we look forward to visiting Royal Holloway for Varsity in 2024 and we will fight to retain the trophy for another year.
