Rugby fans take note that this Saturday 17th March is the annual match against Nantes Medical School. An absolutely huge occasion for our medical school and a chance to reclaim the trophy we lost last year.
This year the match will be renamed after Ottie Uden. For those unaware, Ottie was a brilliant student who unfortunately passed away in October last year. A friend to many in the team it was only right to name this match after her in her honour.
Kick off is at 2pm at Coombe Dingle Sports Complex (BS9 2BJ), the bar will be open, as will the stand opposite the pitch should the weather turn sour…
…and in case you haven’t heard (and with all the international rugby going on as a distraction), let’s not forget the great effort our Medical School achieved in the last few weeks when on a bitter Saturday afternoon (February 24th), they defeated Keele in the final of the NAMS Plate (29 – 8) , a national competition. Another example showing that our students are not “just average” but well above the pack (no pun intended). Well done to them all and their hardy supporters.
