After a very successful season, Somerville Ladies Football is keen to getthe ball rolling for next year! Freshers of all standards are welcome tojoin us for our weekly training and matches. Training sessions arepretty chilled-out, but we're serious about winning our games. Apartfrom being the greatest sport in the world, football at Somerville isalso sociable and just FUN. Email:lena.naassana@some.ox.ac.uk andolivia.arighostiles@some.ox.ac.ukSomerville cricket welcomes all types and levels of players. However, theteam in many ways represents the rump of what I’d call good society inthe college. We are persons of activity, leisure, and of adventure: whetherone is chatting on the boundary, ensconced at the crease or tucking in tothe teatime restoratives, the atmosphere is one of geniality and hope. Theworries of work are cast down and left behind in the libraries. The noiseand squalor of the Vaughan JCR becomes a distant memory as we travel tothe plush pastures of the Somerville sports grounds.We are in the top division and possess both good and excitable players.We aim to do well but do not mind if you drop catches. A drink in pub iscommon practice after a game, and we shall have some socials too. Cricketis a superb sport.Corpusville RFC is officially an amalgamation of two colleges, CorpusChristi and Somerville. Unofficially, Corpus Christi doesn’t actuallylike rugby and in recent memory the team has been all Somerville.Last year was a huge success with double promotion to the dizzyheights of 3rd division.College rugby at Oxford is fun, with a match every Thursday afternoonand two seasons per year.The rugby team is one of the most relaxed and inclusive, hosting thebest socials, the most raucous crew dates and casual post-matchpints. With many of last year’s team graduating, Corpusville is inneed of players. If you are at all interested in turning out for theteam, whether you’ve played before or not, then get in contact,either by emailing me or at the Somerville Freshers Fair.See you next term, Will. william.travis@some.ox.ac.uk
