Kicking some serious Cambridge A*#

Once every year, the Oxford MBAs compete against the Cambridge MBAs in several sports:
-Soccer
-Touch Rugby
-Cricket
-Squash
-Volleyball
-Badminton
-Rowing

The tradition is that Oxford is victorious and Cambridge receives a beating (which is deserved of course for committing treason some 800 years ago -> explanation: see history of cambridge).

Yesterday was the big day!
The weather was wonderful and we kicked off the soccer game at noon. The competition was intense and on could feel that there was a lot of emotion in the game. There was a clear seperation of fans: Oxford supporters on one side and Cambridge supporters on the other side (during the course of the day we started mixing and it became a friendly & fun event; the reason? probably the many free rounds of beer)
In the end, we were victorious even though I have to admit that Cambridge had the better individual players. But we had the better team and god was of course on OUR side!
Same with touch rugby...we slaughtered them!
Same with Cricket...our Indians showed some serious Oxford action on the field and humiliated Cambridge!
Same with Squash...Oxford won!
Same with Volleyball...no chance for Cambridge!
Same with Badminton...Cambridge went down!
Same with rowing...ooopppssss not really!! Actually Cambridge beat our team. What a shame!!! Our rowers better not show up to class on Monday!

Result for me:
-played soccer
-played rugby
-was insulted by a cambridge soccer player several times (due to my excellent defense work...admittedly not always fair BUT efficient)
-major knee injury (I'm limping like a pirate)

Lots of sun, new friends and cold beer made this an enjoyable day which ended with a massive party at the business school. Free food, tribute to the MVPs of the day, live music and a DJ ended the night. Around midnight most of the Cambridge MBAs left (beaten of course). The others that stayed over night were about to be shown what a real Oxford night is like.
