Sport

Despite being the second smallest college, John’s competes in some of the top leagues against other colleges, which are more than double our size. Our mixed lacrosse and squash teams are the best in the uni, and many of our other teams are highly successful (with a few, errrrrrr, exceptions...but no matter).  The main appeal of collegiate sport is that anyone can join in. It doesn’t matter how good you are, there’s definitely a team for you! You can join as many teams as you like, the choice is yours. To get involved, just go along to Fresher’s Fair in Fresher’s Week, where all the sports captains will be, and sign up to anything you like.

During the year there are loads of great sport events to get involved in too. Team-John’s is the fantastically fun competitive relay race between all the different John’s sports teams. Oh yeah, and it takes place between the various college bars! John’s-Chad’s Day, or as Chad’s knows it, ‘Make John’s Feel Better About Themselves Day’, is the sports day to end all sports days with the victors winning the coveted Wilkinson-Cassidy trophy (John’s hasn’t lost it yet!)
