Three universities, eight hundred students and seventeen sports. There could only be one winner of the Glasgow Taxis Cup – and it was Strathclyde who came out on top.
Competing against University of Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian University, the 21st edition of the annual multi-sport competition was won by our Strathletes in convincing fashion. Points were won in sports such as football, badminton, tennis and mountaineering – just to name a few.
The victory sees Strathclyde snatch the coveted prize from storied rivals Glasgow, who came out as winners in last year’s event. The last time the Cup was in the grasp of those in maroon was five years ago. It was fair to say Scotstoun erupted when the half-a-decade wait came to an end and Strathclyde were announced as winners.
The Glasgow Taxis Cup success is yet another piece of silverware in a year littered with trophies for our Strathclyde Sports Union teams. League wins in eight BUCS leagues over seven various sports, alongside two separate knockout cup wins for our netball and women’s water polo teams goes to show the incredible ability and sporting talent we host right here at Strathclyde.
After competing in more than six hundred fixtures across all forty-eight of our fantastic clubs, the victory over our two local competitors was a more than fitting way to culminate what has been a fantastic campaign from all sportspeople here at Strathclyde. The effort from all has been second to none, and all signs point to even more victory medals and celebrations in 24/25.
