I am off the list and this is a late score *and* it's from England. But
Oxford-Cambridge's Varsity hockey match is older than most rivalries
in the States or Canada, at least 100 years old, and I don't think Wayne
explicitly prohibits news of university hockey overseas. It would be
interesting to get list of players from both sides--you'd see a lot of
North Americans. I played on the losing Cambridge side twice in the sixties.
The Rhodes Scholars at Oxford always seem to have the upper hand.

Cannot remember the exact details, but in the A team match:
 
Oxford University 19 - 2 Cambridge University
1st period:        8   0
2nd period:        2   2
3rd period:        9   0
 
(I think!)
 
It was obvious that Oxford deliberately went easy on Cambridge during the
2nd period so that it didn't look like a complete walkover.....(I
confirmed that with some of the players, but you cannot prove it!)
 
Womens:
 
Oxford University 7 - 2 Cambridge University
 
'B' team match yet to be played - I will let you know once I've played in it!
