their position as one <strong>of</strong> the strongest in the league, steaming through to the Final where<br />
a nail biting match resulted in a 2-1 loss to Queen’s. The mixed 1st team also made it<br />
into the Final <strong>of</strong> their competition, where only a combined Trinity-John’s team were able<br />
to stop them from claiming the trophy.<br />
Special thanks must go to our team captains, Alex Kite, Luke Marris, Andrew Walker,<br />
Emma Cridland and Harshnira Patani. Also to Lee Robinson who has coached the<br />
women’s team.<br />
We are all looking forward to even better results next year!<br />

Squash<br />
This year we put two teams, both engaged in weekly training session's and the college<br />
ladder schemes. Our first team this year had to battle up against the rankings from last<br />
year, where a strong team managed to get us into the second division. This year our<br />
team, after coming a close second place in Michaelmas 82-84 points overall, we<br />
managed to clinch the 2 division title in Lent term. Next year we have a strong base,<br />
with all <strong>of</strong> our player staying on for competing in the first division and for the league<br />
title. Our second team, from previously unsuccessful years, was entered in at division 6.<br />
However this year, by training with the first team and by playing regular ladder matches,<br />
the team grew over the course <strong>of</strong> the terms. In Michaelmas, our second team won<br />
division 6 by a comfortable margin. In Lent term, our second team won division 5 by a<br />
similar margin. Next year, although the team has lost a couple <strong>of</strong> it’s players, we are in a<br />
strong position for contending for the division 4 title – one where few second teams are<br />
competing.<br />
The successes <strong>of</strong> both our first and second team highlight the colleges strength and<br />
depth <strong>of</strong> strength at squash. This year was a good year, and with the same players<br />
staying on for next year, perhaps we’ll see even more achievement.<br />

Basketball<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>College</strong> Basketball Club started this year in the second league out <strong>of</strong> four after a<br />
strong previous season. A new group <strong>of</strong> players, including many freshers, joined an<br />
already experienced team raring to start a new season.<br />
During Michaelmas they gained confidence and built on their skills during practice<br />
sessions. As the team got to know each other a strong zone defence developed. This laid<br />
the foundations for the team winning three <strong>of</strong> the five league games. These wins meant<br />
we resulted in a mid-table position, ready for the Lent term league. The league in Lent<br />
term proved unlucky for the club. The strong defence continued but a lack <strong>of</strong> attacking<br />
power meant many matches were lost by just a few points. Unfortunately this meant that<br />
we were relegated to the third league.<br />
I would like to thank everyone who played a part in the club this year, during both<br />
practices and matches. The captain next year will be Jake Shuter-Ross who I am sure will<br />
lead the team straight back into the second league. During the year, Kaladerhan<br />
Agbontaen, last year’s captain, played for the <strong>University</strong> first team. His commanding<br />
role as forward helped the team to second place in the BUCS Midland 1A league.<br />
