After an exciting day of competitive sport, the ImperiaCollege and ImperiaMedicals Women’s rugby teams battled it out in the final Varsity showdown at Twickenham Stoop.

Despite a valiant performance from the Medics, ImperiaCollege came out top – claiming victory with a final score of 15 – 12.

The win was the icing on the cake for ImperiaCollege, who were also crowned overall Varsity champions – winning the majority of the 28 matches played over the course of the tournament.
