Sport in brief

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.
