Match highlights: BUCS competition 2012-13 Week 9

This week's BUCS battle highlights include Football, Netball, Hockey and Lacrosse action on Conference Cup Day on Wednesday 5 December

The first snowfall of the season meant some games were called off due to frozen pitches however there were still plenty of Imperial and Imperial Medical teams in action.

Harlington and Teddington withstood the weather so all home games went ahead with great results coming from:

• IC Football Men’s 2^nd vs  Chichester 5^th : 2-0   
• IC Hockey Men’s 4^th vs Portsmouth 5^th : 2-0
• Lacrosse Men’s 1^st  vs  Reading 1^st : 4-3
• ICSM Football Men’s 1^st vs RUMS 1^st : 4-0
• ICSM Netball 1^st vs Brunel 3^rd : 55-26

A special mention for IC Women’s Hockey 1^st who were playing Portsmouth 1^st at Harlington, avenging their earlier season loss of 8-0 by winning the match 1-0 and climbing to 3^rd place in the table. Keeps up the good work girls!

In the warmth of Ethos, both IC and ICSM Badminton Men’s 1^st teams won their matches comfortably against Kings and Royal Holloway respectively.  Medics Basketball Men won a closely contested match 76-71 versus Bucks New Uni 1^st, putting them joint top of the South Eastern 4A with Imperial 2^nd.  Squash Men’s 3^rd overcame Essex 3^rd with ease 3-0, maintaining their position at the top of the table.

There were also stand out results by Women’s Lacrosse, Squash Men’s 2^nd and Squash Women’s 1^st who all won away from home.  There is one more week to go for the first part of the season, good luck to all the teams and keep an eye on the Sport Imperial Facebook and Twitter, to keep up to date with all the action, hopefully we can finish 2012 off with some great wins!
