Best of Varsity 2014

It was the hottest day of the year yesterday as Portsmouth came to Wide Lane for yet another massive Varsity. The final score was an incredible 204-64, getting the Varsity cup back from Portsmouth in style. We’ve collected some of the best moments for you to reminisce on and catch up with!

The incredible end to one of the basketball games has gone viral on Facebook. Evan Whyte, current VP Sports Development told the Soton Tab:

Possibly one of the best sporting moments ever for Southampton (!?) as the basketball team win (64-61) in the last second after a tense draw.

Pole fitness even got in on the act, winning 236-208. No, we don’t know how they score it either.

There was some classic student shenanigans in the form of… streakers, obviously.

Best view of the day? We think not

Enormous crowds cheered on Team Soton as the Rugby and Football 1st teams both won the last fixtures of the day.

This gathering was the beginning of a MASS BRAWL

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Solent turned up.
