Tab Teams
If you’re into sports and you’ve got a liver of steel, you’ll probably be joining a team. Here’s our guide to the big guns of the AU.

Eurgh
Despite being in one of the most miserably wet regions in Britain, the cricket team’s been around for over a hundred years and the first team are aiming for promotion to the first division this year.

Football
With four Men’s and two women’s teams there’s plenty of opportunities to play football at Liverpool. The Men’s 2nds won their league last year and the Women’s 1sts came second in theirs.

Hockey
One of the biggest sports clubs at the University, Hockey has 7 teams – four Women’s teams and 3 Men’s. Both sides of the club are successful with the Men’s 1sts getting promoted last year and the Women’s 1sts reaching 3 successive cup finals in the last 3 years. Notorious for initiations.

Basketball
Both Men’s and Women’s teams are at a high standard with both in the 2nd division and the Men’s 1sts winning the Christie cup.
Only the lanky need apply
Lacrosse
Not for the faint hearted, Lacrosse has grown rapidly from its formation in 2004. Last year the Women’s 1sts gained promotion while the Men’s team had a completely unbeaten season.
No idea what’s going on here but it looks fun.

Netball
The standard girls’ sport has 5 teams and one of the largest AU memberships which makes for rowdy socials. The 1sts are currently in the top league.

Rugby
With 3 Men’s teams and one Women’s there’s enough opportunities to play ‘ruggers’ at Liverpool, although you will have to prepare yourself to drink beer from the prop’s hairy bum crack if the rumours about their socials are to be believed.

Volleyball
Unfortunately not of the beach variety, the Men’s and Women’s volleyball teams are pretty decent with the Women’s in the first division.
