Our UoB hosts emerged victorious in the inaugural Bristol vs Durham Staff Football Varsity this weekend, in a hard-fought but enjoyable friendly match.
A 12-strong DUSFC side made the journey down south and were graciously welcomed by the brilliant lads on UoB Staff FC. It was all square 1-1 at 30', but the travel, heat, and small squad started to take their toll on the visitors. Special thanks to Jon and Alex for making all the arrangements.
We look forward to welcoming the Bristol lads to Durham for the return fixture next year!

Another solid league season in the books for the Staff, with a 5th place finish in Division 3 of the College Football pyramid. We had a shot at promotion until the final match of the year, but South B called in all their ringers from their Prem side to swindle their way to victory on the final day.
The 2025/26 campaign isn't quite over though! The Staff won their opening round match-up against Grey B 4-3 this weekend to progress to the second round of the Summer Cup 🏆 That means at least one more match in May and a chance to knock out another higher division side.
Training is still on at 7pm every Wednesday all spring and summer, let us know if you'd like to come down! Open to Durham University staff (academic or PS), postdocs, PhDs, and their partners.
