ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app vs WSU in annual sporting clash

Universities fight it out for coveted bragging rights at the second annual Intervarsity Sports Clash. 

Kicking off a spectacular sports-orientated year, the second annual Intervarsity Sports Clash, organised by ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app Recreation and Aquatic Centre and Western's Sport Services, brings together students from ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app and Western Sydney University.

Held on Friday the 22nd of April, the event saw ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app host around 300 students who competed in a number of sports including soccer, basketball, hockey, oztag, touch football and netball. 

The sporting experience was not only a chance for friendships to be made with other university teams, but also a great opportunity for trying out new sports and skills. 

Jamie Hart, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app Team Manager at the Recreation and Aquatic Centre said, sport can unify people from all backgrounds. 

"Everyone is encouraged to mingle and meet new people, which is a great aspect of the games." 

Although there was a mix of different sports on offer during the day, the standout was the mixed hockey match. In a nail-biter game ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app just managed to come out on top. 

The event precedes another major sporting event at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app this year. In July, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app will host thousands of tertiary students for the Eastern University Games. 

It will be the second time ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app has hosted the event, which will include a multitude of sports like, AFL, soccer, squash, tennis, Touch and Ultimate Frisbee over four sport packed days.
