With Christmas overindulgence a fading memory, we look forward to the pinnacle of the year for many students. We can confirm that the Welsh Varsity 2016 will take place on Wednesday 20th April in Swansea. The event, now in its 20th year, sees over 900 students from Cardiff University and Swansea University battle for the honour of Varsity success.
The Welsh Varsity is a festival of sport, with over 35 competitions taking place across 23 sports. Swansea University and the Liberty Stadium will play host to the tournament which runs from
