After trials and performance at recent training sessions it is our pleasure to announce the Cambridge Mens and Womens training squads below.
Squads have been announced for the Oxford weekend but there is plenty of chance to still play at Manchester or Canterbury competitions.
Please ensure you attend training sessions on Mondays 18.30 @Coldhams Common or check the Training page.
It is with great pleasure that we announce the CTA Hornets mens and womens teams to contest the ETA Elite MWTS first round in Oxford on the 9th and 10th June 2018.
We have based the selection on performance over the season to date as well as attendance and performance at recent training sessions.
The Hornets team travelled to Birmingham feeling confident after a trophy winning and always improving display in London. The draw offered up a game against an opposition not faced before this season- Hot Custard. With custard currently ranked 3rd against Hornet’s 6th they should have been the favourites for the game. Cambridge however fancied their chances and trained hard to prepare for what the game would throw at them. It was a dream start to the tournament with the Hornets scoring 4 in quick succession and leaving Hot Custard wondering how they could ever get back into the game. The ‘Knoop Scoop’ was ripping holes in the defence and despite playing chicken with the fence close to the dead ball line the team held on to their convincing lead.
The committee have designed and taken delivery of custom Cambridge touch balls of which we are ecstatic!
These awesome balls are on offer to anyone who can stump up the cash!
After a promising set of performances at the first NTS weekend by an extremely young Hornets team which didn’t quite yield results there was a determination to be felt going into the second weekend. A tough draw meant a challenging Saturday where the team knew they would have to fight hard for any points to be gained.
