Varsity 2014 - Rugby Union

I was disappointed at not being able at covering a number of the Varsity sports last month, so I jumped at the chance at covering the re-arranged Rugby Union matches at the Kingsholm Stadium. Here the Women exit the pitch from their warm up routines.
After a very strong performance, Gloucestershire beat Worcester 82-17.
The Energetic Worcester following was briefly silenced as a flare was removed from the stand!
Dejection from the Gloucestershire bench as they suffered a blow in the first half.
Worcester attempt to gain more yards with a kick up-field.
Mark Lingard? attacks the Worcester defence.
James Dobree-Carey powers towards the corner, scoring the opening try of the game.
Takuya Osaki runs through the centre of Worcester's defence, leading to another score from Harry Sheppard for Gloucester.
After a late surge from both teams, Worcester came out on top, the bench racing towards the players, closely followed by the herd of Worcestershire's travelling following!
The pitch invasion from Worcester included a drum and the continuance of anti-Gloucester chanting!
Although we lost the Men's match, Gloucester retained the Varsity trophy with the series ending 9-7. Sports Officer James Armah proudly holding the cup once again!
