In a gripping Varsity Cricket showdown, Cambridge tasted both victory and defeat. Led by Alex Moen, the men’s team emerged triumphant, contrasting with the women’s team’s tough loss to Oxford. Despite adverse weather conditions that hampered picnic plans, the spirited camaraderie of the 36 CamSocLon members in our private suite shone through.
The men’s match, truncated to 12 overs per side due to rain, witnessed Oxford’s strong initial start mitigated by Cambridge’s assertive control, spearheaded by Moen and his fellow bowlers. Meanwhile, in the women’s game, Oxford’s astute bowling proved pivotal, restricting Cambridge’s chase. However, the day’s highlight unfolded with Harry Houillon and Adil Ibrahim’s explosive batting prowess, securing a memorable victory for Cambridge, amidst resounding cheers from the Cambridge Ultras.
