Brooms at the ready: Derby Day needs you

There’s snow on the pitches but we’ve got a game to play!


Students are being summoned to the Sportspark to help clear overnight snow from the pitches.

UEA Union put out the call this morning ahead of Derby Day 2013, which sees UEA take on local-ish rivals the University of Essex in a day-long sporting extravaganza.

The boys and girls in yellow will be aiming to win back the crown they lost to Essex last year. UEA went down 27-16 in 2012, but this year we have home advantage and look on-track to reign supreme.

The forecast today is for sleet and showers, with a maximum temperature of just 4 degrees Celsius.

Whether you’ve got a broom or not, head over to the Sportspark to make sure as much sport is played today as possible.
