Review Mixed season in a highly

competitive league. Only just missed

out on premiership badminton

losing to Strathclyde

Good league campaign with a 4-4

stand out result v eventual winners

Cambridge 1sts.

In a league of their own –

absolutely smashed everyone in the

Review Impressive season finishing as

runners up in a tough league. Like

the men had a chance of premiership

badminton but missed out only on

set difference v Manchester.

Tough season for the newly

promoted team. Will learn from the

campaign and look to bounce back

next year. Picked up decent draw at

Bedford.

on after a below par start looking to

defend their title. Robbed of a place

in the Trophy Final v Aberdeen

Review Won the league (twice) in their

debut BUCS football focus year.

Were strong defensively. Highlight

of the season was the emphatic 6-0

thumping they gave Staffs 1sts. Tier

1 beckons.

Following last year’s promotion the

main objective was to survive and

that they did. Great turnaround

after Christmas. Professional

approach.

Review Extremely inconsistent. Highlights

were drawing twice with Coventry

2nds. Will walk away with mixed

feelings in a league they could have

challenged for.

Like to refer to themselves as the

“academy team” and went all season

unbeaten. Early wins laid the

platform for a memorable season in

which they can be extremely proud.

Review Largely disappointing season for

warwick finest golfers in a league

they won last year. Missed out to

Leeds Met in premier league playoff.

Need to find the eye of the tiger

next year.

Didn’t make the progress they

hoped and disappointed not to make

the conference cup final. The club

have promised silverware next

season.

Review Lost a lot of close matches and if

these had been different had a real

chance of staying up but relegation

to tier 2 it is.

Early losses were their downfall.

Turned it around at the backend of

the season including a team of the

week 1-0 win v Leicester but it was

too late to keep them up.

could have turned draws into wins

could have challenged oxford 2s for

the title. Enjoyed a decent cup run.

Review Warwick Sport’s team of the season

winning promotion back to tier 1.

Some thumping wins along the way.

Scoring 24 goals in their last 4

games.

Lost their first 6 matches but turned

it around remarkably winning 3 of

their last 4 matches. Relegation

playoff so it’s all to play for the

girls in navy.

Following last season’s promotion

found the step hard difficult. Some

encouraging performances most

notably v Staffs. Will look to

bounce back next season.

Cup Progress CHAMPIONSHIP R1 CHAMPIONSHIP QF

Review A tale of 2 halves. Were magic

winning their 1st 5 matches and

looked on course to win the big one

as well as being the warwick sport

team of the term but threw it all

away and were eliminated in the 1st

round of the championships.

Really encouraging season for the

ladies. Thrashed Edinburgh and

Newcastle then pushed L’boro close.

Got revenge on Manchester in the

knockouts. All round decent season.

Review Slightly hit and miss season. Would

have liked to finish above arch rival

Worcester.

Unlucky not to finish higher as

there was nothing between 2nd, 3

Nottingham and Bham along the

way

A good season for the 3s. Narrowly

lost to winners Harper Adams by

one point-could have challenged for

the league after 6 wins on the trot

Review Was always going to be a tough ask

to survive in Rugby’s premier

division. Picked up a good win v

Sheffield Hallam back in November

and lost a couple of narrow

matches. Gained a lot from the

experience.

Would be looking to finish at the

top end of the table and only missed

out on the runners up spot on

points difference against Bham 3rds.

Went on a 5 match winning streak

ok. Picking up 3 wins along the

highlight.

Some strong uni’s in this league and

picked up a draw against L’boro

Enjoyed a 5 match winning streak

during the season and will be largely

happy and were only displaced by

1st teams. Disappointed to lose

Review With be more than happy with their

season. There is big potential for

Warwick in tennis and the most

notably result came in beating Bham

1sts.

Struggled in the same league as the

1sts. Improved to the end of the

season picking up a good win v

Lboro & Bath. Relegation will be a

hard pill to swallow.

Was on the receiving end of some

close battles and were probably a

bit better than 7th. Will look to

show a bit more nerve next season.

Review Warwick’s most established premier

league side did what they did last

year and maintained the position.

Beating Nottingham away was a

standout result.

With be a bit disappointed with how

the season went only picking up the

1 win. But this is a new team and

will improve in years to come.

an extremely successful season. 2

wins v L’boro and only losing

narrowly twice to Bham. Things are

looking good for Mens Volleyball at

Close to completing a league and

cup double. Will be pleased to get

the chance at the Cup.

Review Finished 3rd behind some big

sporting uni’s. An excellent term 2

drawing against nottingham and

went all the way to the Trophy Semi

Finals only to be denied by L’boro.

Slightly inconsistent but in all will

be pleased with the campaign.

Would have hoped to have made the

final of the conference cup.
