Sports Federation Dinner 2010
On Wednesday the 17th of March, once all the drama of varsity was over and done with, hundreds of Christ Church students made their way to the Ashford International Hotel where they were to enjoy a night of fun, food and fantastic wine at this year’s Sports Federation Dinner.
All dressed up in their Sunday best the students were to meet on campus outside the Old Sessions building and file into any one of the number of coaches that would be taxiing them to and fro this years event.
The location for the Sports Federation dinner 2010 was perfect as was the food and the complementary wine that all came included with the purchase of a ticket, but once all the niceties had been a heard to it was down to the night’s main attraction and what all of the guests came to see. The award ceremony.
At each Sports Fed dinner there are always certain awards that are handed out, per team there is; player of the season, most improved player of the season and main contributor of the season. And then following on from this there are other awards handed out in front of the entire audience, awards such as Team of the Year and Varsity team of the year. Girls Hockey won the acclaim and took home the trophy of Team of the Year after an amazing season which saw them end the season as Varsity Champions, League Champions and they went all the way in their cup competition, adding more silverware to their trophy cabinet. Whilst Men’s football won the right to Varsity Team of the Year with a clean sweep of victories in this year’s competition with all four teams winning their respective games.
Once the award ceremony was finished and the first part of the night began to wind down, with the most eager of guests leaving for the first coach ride back, for the rest, a few more trips the bar were still to be had and a few more jokes were still to be told.
However, when the night did eventually end in Ashford it was merely just beginning in Canterbury. Once all the coaches were again filled up they made the short journey back to Canterbury where the guest received free entry to local night club, Baa Bars, to round off an eventful but entertaining evening.
Stephen Staunton, second year Law student and current men’s football fourth team centre back, believes Sports Fed is always a nice way to end the Universities sporting calendar “After all the hard work we put in throughout the season, and the chaos of Varsity it is always nice to end it all with the whole sporting society together and have some form of celebration.”
