Celebrating at Sports Ball 2023

Events

Over the course of the year our clubs and teams are invited to take part in various events, these include Clash of the Minsters, Freshers Fair and Sports Ball.

The Clash of the Minsters event against York St John rounds off the year with a full day of competition. The fixture alternates each year with Team Sunderland and York St John taking it in turns to host.

This event is an important part of the sporting calendar and is a great opportunity for students to enjoy some friendly competition outside of the usual BUCS competition, as well as claiming bragging rights!

Freshers' Fair helps recruit new and returning students for sports clubs while our annual Sports Ball recognises the achievements of our teams and members across the academic year.
