Oxford 43 - 47 Cambridge
Over the weekend of the 8th/9th March, Cambridge took on Oxford in the 2008 Varsity pool match at Colours Pool Club in Oxford. It was a tough contest, with Oxford taking a 31-23 overnight lead, but Cambridge showed their resolve and pulled it back to a nailbiting finish and took the title 47-43. This is the third consecutive victory for the light blues, although this year the two teams were very evenly matched and it leaves things open for next year when both teams are likely to have lost a lot of players. Hopefully momentum and the home advantage will mean we can make it four in a row.
