The Varsity Match 2014

Dedicated to the 55 Blues that died in World War 1

The Varsity Match at Twickenham Stadium in December has always been a very special occasion and this year is no different. Since 1872 it has been the focus of Oxford and Cambridge rivalry.

The 133rd edition takes place on Thursday, 11 December, kicking-off at the new time of 2.30 pm. Oxford need one more win to make it five in a row to create a Dark Blue record for the fixture. Cambridge still leads the series by 61 wins to 57 and will be doing everything possible to further widen the margin. Whatever happens, you will be guaranteed a game full of pride, passion and commitment and a great day out at the home of English rugby to kick start your festive season.

The traditional pre-Varsity Match clash of the respective Under 21 teams will still kick-off at 11.30 am

This year’s Match will be dedicated to the 27 Oxford Blues and 28 Cambridge Blues who lost their lives in World War 1. Look out for more news of events on the day on this website and visit the Memorial Page for more details of each Blue.
