The CUABC fighters put in anumber <strong>of</strong> impressive performancesagainst strong opposition which,despite losing 5-4 on the night,gives them every reason to be confidentwith the <strong>Varsity</strong> Match fastapproaching.After the inevitable pomp andceremony the first fight set the tonefor a thrilling evening. An old handin the ring and returning Blue, EdChadwick, fought one <strong>of</strong> five highlyexperienced fighters from the MetropolitanPolice. It was a fiery affairwith both men racing out <strong>of</strong> theblocks, not afraid to pull any punches.Chadwick, however, paid the pricefor his <strong>of</strong>fensive, being caught <strong>of</strong>fguard and receiving a number <strong>of</strong>right hooks from the policeman. Withhis opponent bearing down on him,Chadwick, despite a valiant effort,could find no answer until HeadCoach Bob Blowes eventually threwin the towel late on the second round.The University boxers were underno illusions about the quality <strong>of</strong> theopposition and the next three boutsall went the Town’s way. FergalMcCool was perhaps unlucky to bepitted against such a competentfighter in John Metcalf, again fromthe Met, and lost on points despiteshowing some classy moves. Supeheavyweight ‘Big’ Robert Peppercertainly will be feeling aggrievedafter dominating the first 90 seconds<strong>of</strong> his fight before Sam Smith, withwhat seemed to be his first and onlypunch, enforced a dubious TechnicalKnockout. 4-0 to the Town.Staring at a whitewash, Cambridgefought back into the contestwith Elliot ‘The Pitbull’ Chambersstaging perhaps the biggest upset <strong>of</strong>FootballCuppers (1st Teams):Round 2St Catz 6-3 St. John’sDowning P-P DarwinGirton 3-3 (0-3) HomertonLong Road P-P SidneyFitz P-P JesusChurchill P-P EmmaTrinity 4-3 CCCCCaius P-P Selwynthe night in his first ever fight. Hisopponent Dave Goddard was notonly ten years his senior but also thereigning Police welterweight champion.But the Robinson Geographercertainly didn’t lack confidence. Hishubristic pre-fight affirmation that“Amateur Boxing needs me” wasperhaps confirmed as he danced hisway around the ring like a youngdeer with Goddard failing to landmost <strong>of</strong> his throws. With his opponentfrustrated, Chambers variedhis attack well and landed a fine righthook in the second. His quick feetand slipping ensured that he containedall that Goddard had to throwat him in the third and he scored amajority points decision.If Chambers produced the biggestupset then Segawa Kiwanukatook the prize for performance <strong>of</strong> thenight.

This is whatthey had come to see. Kiwanuka, whomissed the bus to the contest, told<strong>Varsity</strong> that, “It was a very toughfight and he threw a lot <strong>of</strong> punchesbut our three coaches are fantasticand they prepared me for that. I’venever knocked a guy down but I gottalook pretty for this opera.”This was followed by a superbperformance by Bart Dear whosimply out boxed his opponent fromMarston ABC.

Everything lookspromising for the upcoming <strong>Varsity</strong>match, the Blues defeatingOxford 10-6 last Wednesday.FootballDespite failing to pick up asingle point in PWC Division 1,the current holders <strong>of</strong> the Cupperscrown, St Catz, ensuredthat they could at least hope forsome glimmer <strong>of</strong> success out <strong>of</strong>a dismally bad season. In a topdivision clash with St John’s,Catz produced an enthrallingperformance which sawthem run out 6-3 winners. Aglance at the score sheet indicatesthe possible reason forCatz’s upturn in form, Bluesstar striker Matt Stock addingfour <strong>of</strong> the six Catz goals. Collegeregulars Hall and Duhigcompleted the rout and ensuredthat St Catz progressed to thequarter-finals where they willface Homerton, extra-time conquerors<strong>of</strong> Girton.Local SportWhile the transfer window forthe Premiership may be bestdescribed as underwhelming,to say the least, non-leagueCambridge United boss,Martin Ling, was busy tryingto strengthen his squad forthe second half <strong>of</strong> the season.As well as signing Youth Teamplayers Luke Berry and BlaineHudson to permanent contracts,Ling secured the signatures <strong>of</strong>former Histon winger AntonioMurray and defender DavidPartridge. Inevitably the newarrivals came at a price, Cambridgefinally losing their battleto hold on to promising strikerChris Holroyd. Holroyd, whowas Cambridge’s most prolificplayer, has been prised away byBrighton manager Gus Poyet,the deal finally completed thisweek for an undisclosed fee.
