Sports aren't always a big deal at Swansea, but on one day a year, they are they biggest deal. Varsity is an all day event against our arch-rivals, Cardiff University. This year, it was Cardiff's turn to bus all of their athletes and students to Swansea for every sporting event in one day! This year was great weather, and from about 11am to 10pm we hung out with friends and cheered Swansea on. We even got to see a game of American football!
We didn't win the football game, but Swansea really kicked butt this year. We won the all around points (so we won the most of the sporting events) AND we won the big rugby match at Liberty Stadium!! We even stormed the pitch afterwords to celebrate :)
Everyone went out to Wind Street to celebrate that night and it really was a great day! If you know me at all though, you know a perfect day without a little misstep just doesn't exist...I actually tripped into a bed of stinging nettles at the start of the day and had a NASTY rash all over my legs for the whole of Varsity. NOT FUN. But I sucked it up, had a beer and enjoyed my first ever Rugby match and a great day with friends :)
Good stuff. Just letting you know your blog isn't going unread. ;)
