If you haven’t entered yet, this is a reminder that the deadline for you to get your teams submitted into next season’s BUCS leagues is next Friday - 10th May! You need to enter via your AU so make sure that if you’re interested in taking part that you get your entry in now before it’s too late. 

Not sure what’s happening next year? 

In addition to the Men’s Wednesday afternoon league that has been taking place since 2015, there will now be a NEW Women’s central-venue league. 

How will the Women’s BUCS league work? 

There will be 2 one-day fixtures that will take place for each region (with the regions being the same as those used for the Men’s league). The plan is that teams will play 2 or 3 games at each of the one-day fixtures, due to be held on Saturday 9th November 2019 and Saturday 22nd February 2020.

Further to the earlier announcement, here are the details for CONFIRMING ENTRY to UKU London Summer League 2019.  Thanks to those teams that already looked into this and confirmed that you are planning to play.  We could really do with some help spreading the word about LSL this year.  Please help us encourage new and old teams to get involved!

Congratulations to all of the teams that took part in the two second round mixed UKU Ranking Events at the weekend; The Grey Towers of Durham & Spring Showdown. It seems that a lot of well-fought, competitive games took place over the two days and so we hope that you all had a great time!

Huge well done to Black Eagles for coming top in the Tier 1 Grey Towers Event after a convincing win against Glasgow in an all-Scottish final in Durham. Also, great work to Leamington Lemmings and Geometrically Frustrated Magnets for winning their respective Tier 2 divisions! 

Entries for UKU Regionals 2019 are now open - for all three divisions! The events will be held on the weekend of 3rd-4th August in two different locations for the North and the South. Regionals (South) will be held at Edenbridge RFC. The venue for Regionals (North) is still to be confirmed.

Note that following the introduction of the new club outdoor competition structure, Regionals & Nationals will become UKU Ranking Events and so by attending one of these competitions your team will be eligible to earn ranking points based on your finishing position.

Thank you to all of the teams that entered into Nottingham Windfarm by the Closing Date! We are pleased to confirm that everyone has been awarded a space at the event. The full confirmed team list for the competition can be seen below.
