Fives at Cambridge University

Cambridge University Rugby Fives Club

There are no Rugby Fives courts at Cambridge, so the Club practises on a Wednesday evening at Oundle School, where all 'home' matches are also played.

Members of the University who wish to play Fives should contact the Captain, Alqahir Ladak (Christ's) on al490@cam.ac.uk, or the Hon. Secretary, Charles Compton (St. John's), on cc510@cam.ac.uk

The Sparrows

The Sparrows are former members of CURFC. They play the present side once a year in a fixture called The Past Versus Present. The Past entertain the Present to dinner after the match, which usually takes place a week before the Varsity Match. President of the Sparrows is Bob Dolby, who was Captain in 1966-67. He can be contacted on bobdolby5@btinternet.com.
