Lancaster University take the lead in the first day of pre-Roses fixtures

The 60th Roses tournament is finally underway, and Lancaster are already ahead of York after the first day of pre-Roses fixtures.

Even though the tournament doesn’t actually begin until Friday 1st May, some fixtures take place beforehand for sports which have a longer duration or those which are held off-campus.

The pre-Roses fixtures this year include Rowing, 5k Running, Equestrian, Golf, Cricket, and Snow Sports.

On Saturday 25th April, Rowing teams from Lancaster and York headed to the River Lune for the first eight events of the Roses schedule, all reported live via the Roses Live website. 

The University of York won the first and third events – Senior Women B and Novice Women B Rowing – whereas Lancaster University took the crown for the remainder. Following Rowing, there were two 5km Running races back on campus, which saw Lancaster triumph in both.
