Varsity -kamp - Varsity match

En universitetsmatch er en sportslig kamp mellom to universitetslag , spesielt Oxford og Cambridge . Den skotske Varsity -rugbykampen mellom University of St Andrews og University of Edinburgh på Murrayfield stadion hevdes å være den eldste tilbakevendende varsity -kampen i verden, etter å ha blitt spilt siden 1860 -årene. Det er foregått av University Match i Cricket mellom Oxford og Cambridge, som først ble spilt i 1827.

Varsity i England

Landets lengste løpende serie med varsity-kamper spilles mellom University of Oxford og University of Cambridge . I tillegg til University Match i Cricket fra 1827 nevnt ovenfor, ble det første " Boat Race " i 1829 den første " Varsity Match " (i Rugby Union) i 1872, og det første " Varsity Game " (i basketball) i 1921 alle bestridt mellom Oxford og Cambridge. Uvanlig for britiske universitetsidrettsarrangementer, vises både Boat Race og Varsity Match på TV. I motsetning til mange nyere varsity-konkurranser, står Oxford-Cambridge-kampene alene i stedet for å være en del av en bredere multi-sport-varsity-konkurranse.

Britisk avis The Independent foreslo i 2008 at Bath vs Loughborough var "the real varsity match" på grunnlag av at dette var de to beste lagene (på den tiden) i British Universities Sports Association (BUSA) konkurranser. Siden 2015 har British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS), etterfølgeren til BUSA, organisert kamper mellom Loughborough og Durham (de to beste universitetene siden 2011-12) for å skje samme dag, i det som har blitt betegnet som "BUCS Varsity ".

Det finnes en rekke by- og regionale sportslige rivaliseringer mellom universitetene, som også kalles varsity -kamper. The Roses Tournament mellom universitetene i York og Lancaster er en av de eldste og største av disse, og kan dateres tilbake til 1965. Det er ofte referert til som den største inter-universitetet idrett turnering i Europa.
