Speaking following the annual BUCS Annual Awards Dinner, Richard Wheater, Performance and Development Director, Â鶹ֱ²¥ University, said: “This is an incredible achievement by all involved across Â鶹ֱ²¥ Sport.
“To continue to perform at such a high level, year-on-year, is an exceptional undertaking. Most especially the athletes – and of course all the coaches, practitioners, volunteers, and the many others involved – deserve immense credit.
“As a university, we’re incredibly proud of our BUCS record and we’ll all enjoy this moment before looking forward to the new campaign.”
