Here at the University of York college football is one of the most inclusive sports on campus. Each college is united by their support for their team and the College Football League is one of the most hotly contested competitions on the calender.
The fact that each team has its own specific style is key to the charm of college football. Every college has their rivalries: get ready for grudge matches between Goodricke and James; Halifax and Alcuin as well as Derwent and damn near every other team.
Each college captain will be looking for the strongest possible start to the new season and this will mean looking to replace the key members of college football who have since departed the university. Vanbrugh in particular have been hit hardest by the latest round of graduations and will have to look closely at the freshers in order to flesh out their team.
I don’t think Alcuin are the team to beat this year. Whilst it is undeniable they were by far the best team last year, both at winning and playing proper football, I dont think this year they are favourites.. notable departures dont only include ed murrills…but also dan hyde, and the rock laurie swan… delaney out for the year, doubts over whether crane , cooper, cox, parris etc.. will play this year as well. should be an interesting year thought
