Mixed Bosh Brighton
06/02/2011
Cambridge won 15-5
Cambridge chose a particularly blustery day to make their way down to Brighton at the weekend. The long trip was made decidedly more arduous by a certain detour of one of the cars and so CUMLC jumped into gear as soon as they made it to the pitch, anticipating a stunted warm-up. However the windy conditions caused one of the Brighton goals to break(!) meaning that by the time the pitch was ready CUMLC were rearing to go.

Mixed Sink Southampton
12/12/2010
Cambridge won 17-12
A rather eclectic bunch of players travelled from around the country to Southampton on Sunday: CUMLC drew on its enthusiastic alumni, new recruits and available players to put out a small squad. Cambridge faced a large Southampton team, aided by convenience of location and that their term is still in session (no eight weeks down there!).

Mixed pull out the win over Northampton
21/11/2010
Cambridge won 13-9
Sunday’s match proved to be the Mixed team’s most evenly matched league game yet, with CUMLC proving that down does not mean out.
The game commenced with the teams neck-and-neck, each equalising as the other scored. Winning the draw seemed increasingly important as fast breaks gave Northampton the edge and Cambridge fell behind by several goals. Rushed play in Cambridge’s attack resulted in a few lucky goals but generally Northampton dominated possession. The first quarter was blown, and a distinctly tense mood descended onto the pitch.

Kingfishers success in Oxford
17/11/2010
Cambridge won 10-5
Cambridge Kingfishers came out fighting and dominated the Oxford defence holding the ball safely to Oxford's frustration. Ellie Jeffreys demonstrated a beautiful fake, confusing the goalie as the ball sailed into the net. 2 others goals went our way before Oxford called a time out to get their acts together. They came back with a vengeance and managed a goal from a fast break before our defence had regrouped. Their raised confidence allowed them another goal before Cambridge got back on track and Check scored a goal from an unexpected postal drive. The half time score of 5-3

Women's Blues Bosh the Scum
17/11/2010
Cambridge won 15-9
A rivalry going back nearly 800 years, both teams unbeaten this season, 2 shades of blue and only one winner possible. Quite a formidable set up for the Cambridge v. Oxford game this Wednesday played on Queens pitches in Cambridge.
The match started slowly for Cambridge with the dark blues keeping possession of the ball for longer than was comfortable. A good set up from Georgie Hurt led to the first score of the day from cambridge co-captain Laura Plant, however Oxford quickly retaliated and for a while the scores

Mixed Break Hearts
14/11/2010
Cambridge won 21-0
Cambridge were welcomed to the University of Hertfordshire’s very swish sports village on Sunday to face a team they have not played for more than a year. Eleventh-hour injuries meant that the squad was smaller than usual, but this turned out to be no obstacle to the light blues.

Kingfishers hold nerve to beat Oxford Brookes
10/11/2010
Cambridge won 10-9
This week the women's seconds faced Oxford Brookes at home, a warm up for
the real Oxford next week...
With Brookes scoring the first goal it looked set to be a closer match than
the lacrosse girls are currently used to. However, they showed that they
were definitely in the game with a quick return goal from Pithers' left
handed drive on goal, streaking through the startled Brookes defence. A few
paniced passes in attack led to some unnecessary turnovers for Brookes,
however they failed to take advantage. Punished for this, Amelia Duncanson

Women Triumph Over Exeter

Cambridge won 15-6
This wednesday the lacrosse girls found themselves in Devon to take on the strong Exeter University 1st team. This was the first real challenge the Blues had come up against this season and they rose to it, beating down the fiesty, fake-tanned, peroxide blonde Exeter players 15-6.
