Student Nationals 2025 - Champions 🏆

Last Saturday, Oxford’s finest octopushers descended on Nottingham for the biggest student competition of the year. Despite it falling in the middle of the holidays this time, we gathered a strong team from all corners of the country to face a wide field of competitors. This year was also the first year there was an alumni competition alongside, to which Oxford brought back a team of players from throughout the club’s history, all the way back to one of our founding members!

After some hard fought games our student team came out triumphant, winning student nationals without dropping a point! This is a huge achievement for everyone involved, and I couldn’t be prouder of you all! Special congratulations must go out to our vice captain Cristian, who was awarded player’s player, and to Kai for playing in his first ever tournament! We also want to thank the draft players who helped to bolster our numbers and became our new friends!

Our alumni team also put in a great performance and got themselves a bronze medal to show for it.

Thanks to everyone for making the trip, can’t wait for next year!

Thanks to everyone who came to our Winter Tournament last Sunday! It was a massive event with more than a hundred players from up and down the country competing across 2 divisions, in what for some was their first ever competitive underwater hockey matches. Sorry we all had to rush out at the end so we haven’t got many photos, please feel free to send us any you took!

Now for the results! It was a tightly fought competition, with lots of nail-bitingly close games in both pools and some hard fought knock outs/finals. The final standings are below.

6th-Warwick
5th-Oxford

We also want to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped out on poolside on the day allowing the tournament to run smoothly, from our committee members to all of you who helped with reffing and scoring over the day, we couldn’t have done it without you all!

We had a load of fun and can’t wait to do it again next year!! Hope to see you all back in the pool soon!
