With the return of students from the Easter break, Varsity resumes for the biggest event of the season.
Sheffield Hallam and the University of Sheffield are going head to head to claim the title after the University of Sheffield’s 9-year winning streak.
The day will include football matches, lacrosse, cricket, rugby union and league.
There will also be performances from both Universities stunt and pom cheerleading teams at half time and this year will mark the first year of an individual cheer showcase despite the teams not competing for any points.
One student at the University of Sheffield, Ellie Pierce, said: “I always look forward to going to sports park; it’s literally the best day of the year.
“There’s just so many sports in one day and it gives an idea of who’s likely to win in the long run.”
University of Sheffield are currently leading the competition at 8-4 going into their penultimate week.
This is after a loss at Ice Hockey, the opening game of the season, where Hallam took the victory winning 7-6 after an hour of incredible action. Hallam also managed to score some points by winning American football, men’s long-distance athletics and squash.
However, Black and Gold remain in the lead after winning male and female rowing, trampolining, female long-distance athletics and all of the different tennis fixtures.
It is still all to play for though with 61 points up for grabs in the final weeks of the competition.
