Varsity is back in Portsmouth featuring Team UOP against Team Southampton.
March 2022 will see the return of the annual Varsity Cup tournament between Team UOP and Team Southampton. This year we have the home advantage as the event will be hosted at HMS Temeraire and the University's sports facilities.
Join us on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th March for an action packed weekend of sports, as a player or spectator.
