15:21 – Two victories for Team Southampton in archery. Without knowing the overall score I can’t be certain, but it must nearly be game over for Varsity 2016

15:18 – But to make things a little bit more entertaining, three streakers have just stopped the Men’s Rugby game. Nobody wants to go near them really, giving them free roam of the pitch.

15:17 – The score document all media groups were using has been taken down, meaning we have far less knowledge of the full score than we have had all day

14:58 First try of the men’s 1st rugby goes to Souhampton

12:43 – Men’s lacrosse has ended 4-2 and guess who won. That’s right. Portsmou…..no it was Southampton of course

12:35 – It’s just a matter of time now. Southampton just need 73 points to win. Portsmouth need 153 to complete the comeback. Somehow I think Team Soton have got Varsity 2016 won

12:23 – We’ve had more people coming in here asking where the toilet is than Portsmouth have points

12:20 – Does this count as throwing the towel in?!?!

12:18 – When does the mercy rule apply? Two more wins for the men and women of volleyball. Team Southampton blowing the points gap even further apart.

12:01 – Shout out to the lads at Dominos. Been providing spectators with free food all day and got mad deals going on throughout the month. Top guys!

11:37 – Pretty much sums it up. Another win for Team Soton in Netball 5ths
