With fixtures taking place for the majority of sports. Here is an update on the Inter-College Cup so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grand Finals <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last Tuesday saw the final round of the Chumash Inter-College competition for this term. After some really tough competition all term, it was a Darwin versus Turing &amp; Woolf final. After a close fought game Darwin Outlaws were able to come away securing a rather convincing 4-1 win to become crowned Chumash Champions. Tur\/Woolf having to settle for 2<sup>nd<\/sup> place, followed by Rutherford in 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, Eliot in 4<sup>th<\/sup> and Keynes in 5<sup>th<\/sup> place. A new competition will resume next term.<\/p>\n<p>This Tuesday will see the Grand final for this term\u2019s cricket league where Rutherford will go head to head with Darwin &amp; Turing who secured their place in the final following a tight game with Eliot, winning by just 3 runs. The question is can Darwin and\u00a0Turing keep their cool against Rutherford who finished top of the league? We are sure to find out this Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Football<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The league has just completed its\u00a0sixth\u00a0week. So there is still everything left to play for. The current table has Raiders in 1<sup>st<\/sup> place on 16 points. They are currently undefeated having won 5 and drew 1 of their 6 games. Close behind them is Medway Mavericks, new comers to the league on 13 points, who currently only been defeated by third place team Turing FC, also new comers this season. Mavericks and Raiders are yet to meet in the league and we are all very excited for this fixture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Badminton <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Badminton has had a rocky start with some colleges struggling for players. However for all those involved the competition is fierce. To date Rutherford are slightly running away with it, with both strength and depth of players, but they can still be caught. It\u2019s not too late to get involved and represent your college.

Well firstly it gives people a college identity, plus an opportunity to play at a relatively competitive level in a variety of sports, with the added social bonuses of meeting new people in a great social environment. College sport gives more people more opportunities to play sport.
