Varsity wins for IC

The medics won the Ladies' 1s though

4 Mar 2016 — 1 min read

Wednesday’s Varsity Hockey matches saw mostly college wins over the medics. With four games played at Harlington, Hockey took place two weeks earlier than Football and Rugby, which are on the 19th at Heston.

The IC women’s 2s had a monstrous 8-0 win over the medics, and were 3-0 up just 14 minutes into the match.

The Men’s 1s match was a close one, with scores equal throughout much of the game. Eventually IC pulled through and earned a 3-2 victory, partially on p-flicks.

Medics triumphed in the Ladies’ 1s game, winning 4-3 on penalties after equalising on 4-4.

The Men’s 2s and 3s matches both ended in 1-0 victories for the college teams.

What I thought would be a quick pitstop at a local bookshop in Chiswick turned into a half-hour chat with the owner where I realised I hadn’t read a life-changing book in a while. The conversation inspired a strong urge to change that; I grabbed a copy of The
