The first UK Quidditch tournament designed specifically for University teams. See the cream of collegiate talent at VC 2019; @warwick_uni 9th-10th March
The committee regret to inform you that Varsity Cup 2019 has been cancelled. Too few teams were able to confirm attendance. We have opted to not force the event through at this time, rather we hope to run it in future when we have more attendees. Thank you for your understanding
#VarsityHistory No. 7: in April 2017, the first #DevCup took place in Oxford, with predominantly University teams attending. @lpoolquidditch , @EdinQuidditch and @Bathilisks took the podium and all have gone on to play at EQT! (Credit: Claire Purslow)
#VarsityHistory No. 6: In autumn 2016, @Warwick_QC become Southern Champions- displaying their games passing gameplay at its most elite level, they beat defending champs Oxford and community powerhouse @WoL_Quidditch on their run to gold! (Credit: QP)
#VarsityHistory No.5: @bristol_qc shock the world (and themselves) by qualifying for the upper bracket at EQC 2016, defeating Paris Frogs and taking eventual champions Antwerp QC to overtime! (Credit: Unknown)
#VarsityHistory No.4: In 2015, @SouthamptonQC won the second British Quidditch Cup, defeating @oxfordquidditch in the final, ending a twelve-month unbeaten streak for the old champions. To this day, veterans of both teams remain household names in community sides. (Credit: UON)
#VarsityHistory No.3: In 2014 @oxfordquidditch became the first (and only) British team to win the European Quidditch Cup, defeating Paris Phenix in the final! The UK has consistently reached the semi's since, but has never equalled Oxford's success in Europe. (Credit: OUQC)
#VarsityHistory No.2: The original British Quidditch Cup at @UniofOxford was almost entirely comprised of University teams, but there could only be one champion: hosts @oxfordquidditch handily defeated all comers for gold! (Pictured: OUQC 1sts and 2nds at BQC 2013, credit: OUQC)
#VarsityHistory No.1: Universities have always been the lifeblood of British Quidditch, ever since the beginning when @KeeleQuidditch and @uol_quidditch played the first ever IQA-Rules match on British soil in March 2012! (Pictured: Keele QC circa 2015, credit: K. Watson)
In the run up to the event, we will be tweeting out the attending teams, as well as running regular pieces on the history and accomplishments of University Quidditch in the UK! #Quidditch#Varsity
