The Lord's Varsity Match
Tuesday 21 February 2012
CUCC are delighted to announce that the showpiece event of the Blues calendar, the One-Day Varsity Match at Lord's, will this year take place on Saturday June 16th. We look forward to welcoming members and friends of CUCC and students past and present to the Home of Cricket for the Varsity Match.
The iconic venue provides a stunning backdrop for what has proved an enthralling match over the past few years. In 2010 Cambridge won a tense game by five wickets, chasing down a target of 270 with 13 balls to spare. The Light Blues then made it back-to-back victories last time out, defeating Oxford by 52 runs on their way to a historic treble of Varsity wins. Meanwhile, over on the Nursery Ground the Cambridge Women thrashed their Oxford counterparts by 9 wickets to complete a Cambridge double at the Home of Cricket.
For a flavour of what to expect, photos from last year's match can be found here.
Ground Admission to see both Men's and Women's matches costs £10, and just £5 for Under 16s. Information on how to purchase tickets will be available on this website shortly.
Hospitality, restaurant and picnic packages are also available: please visit the Lord's website for further details or contact the Lord's hospitality team at hospitality@mcc.org.uk or 0207 616 8598.
We look forward to welcoming you to Lord's this summer!
