本文譯自BBC SPORTS網站12月10日譯者辛久銘於林口

第129屆牛津劍橋大學對抗賽(Varsity Match )12月9日星期四(傳統訂在12月第二個星期二)在英國崔肯翰(Twickenham)主場舉行.穿深藍色球衣牛津大學報了去年一箭之仇(27-31),以21-10擊敗淡藍色球衣劍橋大學.

Oxford avenged last season's defeat to beat Cambridge 21-10 in the 129th annual Varsity Match at Twickenham.

Oxford (15) 21
Tries: Cheesman, Crozier

Cons: Marr

Pens: Marr 3

Cambridge (3) 10
Tries: Penalty

Cons: Richards

 Pens: Richards

後衛(Backs) Alex Cheesman 和 James Crozier在上半場相繼達陣,而飛鋒(fly-half)  Charlie Marr踢進1個轉換攻門成功和罰踢進門,而以15-3在上半場領先.

劍橋隊長15號殿衛Jimmy Richards 獲得轉換攻門成攻罰踢達陣(converted a penalty try ),加上半場罰踢進門.

但是後來fly-half Charlie Marr又踢進2個罰踢進門,就足夠讓牛津贏得這場聖戰.

Backs Alex Cheesman and James Crozier went over to give the Dark Blues a 15-3 lead at half-time, fly-half Charlie Marr kicking a conversion and penalty.

Cambridge skipper Jimmy Richards helped pull the Light Blues back into the game when he converted a penalty try which added to his earlier place kick.

But two further Marr penalties was enough to give Oxford the win.

註1:歷年來戰績,劍橋大學61勝,牛津大學55勝,14場平手.

註2:台灣年度大學對抗賽每年於台灣大學和成功大學校慶日,在各校橄欖球場舉行.球場周圍均是各校OB和在校生,大概不會超過1000人.牛津劍橋看畫面,看台均是球迷.去年觀眾30082.希望能在有看台-台北田徑場,或台南田徑場,或橄欖球場,甚至移師高雄世運會場.

高中建中和淡江,或長榮和淡江年度對抗,要吸引球迷去觀賞.
