Badminton Open 2s
Taking place at FitZone, Badminton Open 2s took on Winchester Open 1s. The end result landed on 3-5 to Winchester, with Ahmad and Bernard winning both their doubles matches and Robbie and Finley winning one of theirs. Good effort, team! Must be feeling strange playing against other universities after taking on our 1s the past 2 BUCS Wednesdays! Unfortunately, that’s the last time our 2s will be playing against Winchester this season, but they’ll be travelling west to Swansea for their next match on the 18th November!
Football Men’s 1s
Kicking off the day in the first match of the day on home soil were our Football Men’s 1s, playing against Cardiff Met Men’s 4s. At the end of 90 minutes, USW came out victorious with a stunning result of 5-1 to USW! Well done to the team - hopefully they’ll win again when they take on Met Men’s 4s on the 3rd of February.
Football Men’s 2s
Right after our Men’s 1s were our Men’s 2s, taking on Aberystwyth Men’s 1s and securing the second win of the day with a result of 4-0! The winning goals were scored by Josh, Kai, Marcus, and Mikolaj, with player of the match going to Harry H. Clean sheet went to Will. The team will take on Aberystwyth Men’s 1s again on the 3rd February - will another win be on the table?!

Football Women’s 1s
In the Barn, our Football Women’s 1s took on Cardiff Women’s 1s. At the end of 90 minutes, our team unfortunately ended on a result of 0-27 to Cardiff. But that’s not the end of the USW-Cardiff feud! Our team will be going against Cardiff 1s on the 3rd February, so stay motivated!
Hockey Women’s 1s
Taking on our rivals, UWE, USW Female 1s stepped onto the astro ready to take them down. Although it didn’t go to plan, landing on a result of 0-6 to UWE, now the girls are double ready to take them on in Varsity. They won’t be facing UWE again until Varsity now, so rest up and bring your fire over the water in April! Our team will be taking on Southampton at Sports Park on the 25th November, so come out and support!
Lacrosse Women’s 1s
The Lacrosse Women’s 1s took on Swansea Women’s 1s on Wednesday, but unfortunately walked away with a score of 1-27 to Swansea - not bad for their 2nd BUCS match in a few years! The single goal was scored by Daisy, and 3 Player of the Matches were awarded to Daisy, Ceone, and Charlotte. They will not be taking on Swansea anymore this season, but will be playing against Bristol Women’s 2s next week!
Netball Women’s 1s
Travelling down the A470, our Netball Women’s 1s took on Cardiff Female 5s (Medics) on the court. At the end of the game, they returned to USW with a result of 46-25 to Cardiff. But not to worry, our team will play against Cardiff Female 5s (Medics) on the 3rd February again at Sports Park.
Rugby Union Men’s 1s
Travelling down the road, our Rugby Men’s 1s team took on Cardiff Met Men’s 5s. After a tight match, our team travelled home with a result of 27-13 to Cardiff Met, but will be going against them again on the 3rd February to show them what we’re made of.
Basketball Men’s 1s
Over the Severn was our Basketball Men’s 1s playing against Bristol Men’s 3s, securing a result of 64-88 to USW, bringing home a win this week! Congrats team, we’re looking forward to seeing you go against Bristol Men’s 3s again on the 3rd February.
USW’s Position in the League
Currently, we’re sat on 195 points, moving up by 1 place to 85 in the BUCS league. We’re looking at a very busy week next week, 10 teams are playing, with all of them away to Bristol, Cardiff, Winchester, and even Southampton! Will we see a third win in a row from Basketball? Which of our football teams will take home the win this week? And how will Cricket 1s do in their tournament at the weekend? So many questions... only time will tell...
