Good afternoon, and welcome to today’s ParkLifeSport live blog. Attentions turn to today’s action at Oxstalls Arena with University of Gloucestershire hoping to increase their 5-4 lead over University of Worcester in this year’s Varsity competition.
Today we’ll see UOG’s Women’s Hockey, Tennis, Women’s Futsal and Trampolining sides take on Worcester in a bumper day of Varsity sport. Today is a pivotal day which could easily turn the tide in favour of both Universities with four big points up on offer with only five sports left after today. We know we’d rather be a cheese than a sauce!
We take a look at tomorrow night’s League Two clash between Forest Green Rovers and Mansfield Town, with Rob Edwards’ side taking a four point lead at the top of the table into the game.
Gloucester City Queens dropped their 10th straight game as they suffered an 81-58 defeat at the hands of Newcastle Eagles in the Vertu Motors Arena.
The Hundred is also looking forward to its second season of action with today’s draft a big indicator of what teams could be fighting for supremacy. Last year’s Men’s winners Southern Brave and Women’s winners Oval Invincibles will look to defend their crowns. Elsewhere in cricket, Gloucestershire batsman Glenn Phillips will look to score big for Sunrisers Hyderabad alongside former Gloucestershire man and current New Zealand captain Kane Williamson.
