7 Feb 1997 — 1 min read

Last Sunday Imperial played a friendly against BUSA championship hosts Warwick. After consecutive wins against Cardiff, Southampton and Bristol, IC were looking to keep up their red-hot form. For the A team Jon led the way, winning 5-0 and finishing one frame with a 60 clearance. Wins followed from Simon and Alex, contributing to a final 16-9 win.

For the B team Spike whitewashed his opponents 5-0 and with a 4-1 victory for Russell they cruised to a 13-7 win. With only a couple of weeks to go before the Nationals, IC are in good shape for the biggest tournament of the year.

RIFLE AND PISTOL SHOOTING

More competitors are still needed for the Courtman Shield rifle match (March 1st) however, as otherwise RCS are in sever danger of whitewashing all the other CCU’s. Furthermore, anyone is invited to take part in the Bell Target air rifle shoot (an old Black Country tradition) on Wednesday 12th February.
Enquires can be made at the range on Wednesdays and Saturdays about other forthcoming attractions.
Finally, we have a home match against Cambridge on Saturday as a warm-up for the Nationals, where we hope to make it into the medals after last years fourth place.

Fatboy crowned King

With the football seconds looking to build on last weeks glorious victory, the game began with captain Steve picking a formation literally out of a hat and urging the lads to "Show ‘em what we can do". Unfortunately this produced the most boring first half in history, with

The fourths go marching on...

As usual, we won, they lost. However, they didn’t just lose, they bore the brunt of the fourth’s most impressive performance this season, and were thrashed into submission by a team seemingly possessed by the spirit of Brazil l970. The pressure built in the first half, a shot

The Latest Score

England have now managed just two test victories in five winter tours and both of those when the series were lost and Australia and the West Indies had already given up. This appaling record was furthered earlier this week when England failed to win. Unlike most I don’t think
