He tagged the wrong UoY in his tweet

He was also cited at Netball too

Despite York's best efforts, Lancaster have reached the target score of 176.5 points first with York sitting at 82 points. Lancaster reached the target following victory in the Men's Badminton.

We did pick up some impressive victories in Women's Squash, Men's Tennis, Women's Rugby Union, Women's Darts, Men's Fencing and Underwater Hockey among others.
