The weekend saw a variety of sports played on campus, ranging from football to octopush, an underwater variation of hockey. It was announced yesterday that Lancaster won the competition overall by 174 points to 104.

This was the first time the hosts had lost the competition since 2005, and the first away win for Lancaster in thirty-eight years.
