14 people from the University of London (ULU) Karate Club attended the KUGB student Championships in Chesterfield. The event is popular and attracts many students. This is the one that people fear! Physically demanding and very tough, months of intensive training went into this. We were quite confident in our

We played Charring Cross earlier this term. We didn’t like them then. We really don’t like them now. Their act of generosity in donating a player to strengthen our side to an impressive count of nine participants, was soon forgotten as the umpiring became blatantly biased. The umpire
A generally good performance from IC cross-country, enhanced by the hot pants worn by the King’s College women, was marred by the retirement of Gaffer at the start of the second lap. His pink dress was too uncomfortable. Yellow-arse, love-life now intact and Flasher, enjoyed a pre-race drink at
This week’s sports pages see a welcome contribution from the chess and bridge clubs. Perhaps this will encourage more of the "alternative" sports clubs to write material as well. This weekend sees the swordsmen going for national BUSA glory, and the football firsts and fourths furthering their
A tense Saturday afternoon of card play crowned the resurgence of IC Bridge Club. ICBC has come second for the past 2 years in the annual London intercollegiate teams competition, The Chelsea Cup, making victory this year especially sweet.

The scene is set - one of the oldest rugby competition in the world and St. Mary’s are in the final, as they have been for the last twenty years (having won the thirteen of them). The crowd was hyped and in good voice for the match of the
In one of the most important weeks for English sport in recent history, things have so far gone badly wrong, the effective deciding match of Five Nations has been lost and one of our remaining three football teams in European competition has thrown it away. Saturday completed a pretty miserable
After five years of trying, the RSM rugby team brought "The Bottle" back to the union bar. The game was a fiercely fought contest from the start, Cambourne literally fighting for the ball. The weight of the RSM pack always meant that Cambourne would struggle in the scrums,
After going a goal down as early as the second minute, ICFC fourths dominated the game. Although only one-all at half-time we should have been leading and the reasons for this were bad misses by Pete, Darren and Morgan. Darren came good in the second half, completing his hat-trick, and
Yet again the conditions were against IC, playing away to league leaders LSE in the usual windy conditions. The weather made it difficult to slip into the slick passing style that we have so successfully copied from the second team. The first half was tending to a draw until five
