After a hugely successful Welcome Week which included our Welcome Fair at David Ross Sports Village, we are now delighted to see sport beginning to return across our campuses in earnest.

With students becoming familiarised with our programmes such as Intramural Sport and Just Play, as well as competitive BUCS fixtures taking place, our sports centres are becoming ever busier and it is brilliant to see!

Brian Moore inducted into our Sport Hall of Fame

Last month, we were very proud to induct the former England, British & Irish Lions & University of Nottingham Rugby player Brian Moore into our Hall of Fame. Brian graduated from the university in 1984 with a law degree, and went on to represent his nation 64 times including leading his country to the World Cup Final in 1991.

That year, he was also voted Whitbread Rugby World Player of the Year as he won the first of his three grand slam titles with England. His performances in the front row for his clubs and country also led to Brian’s inclusion on two British & Irish Lions tours, where he won five test caps.

For these achievements, Brian was voted the university’s Greatest Sportsman by fellow alumni as part of the university’s Greatest Sporting Heroes campaign. You can read all about Brian’s induction here, as well as view his induction video here.

BUCS is Back!

BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) has returned and our teams in #GreenandGold have returned to action after what has been a very long time away. Within BUCS, the #GreenandGold of the University of Nottingham will be taking on over 140 different Higher Education institutions across a wide array of sports.

When Coronavirus halted play for the 2019/20 season, the university sat atop the BUCS rankings and we look forward to our attempt to match our previous success!

Keep an eye on our social media @uonsport to keep across the key fixtures and results each and every Wednesday – or even better, why not head down to our fixtures in person and cheer on our athletes?! All information on BUCS Sport and fixtures can be found here.
