Cambridge University Badminton Club

Cambridge University Badminton Club Cambridge University Badminton Club's official page Now, it is the University's official club for competitive badminton. www.cubac.org

Cambridge University Badminton Club was founded in the early 20th century by students at the University of Cambridge. The Club consists of a Main Squad and a Development Squad. The Main Squad has about 45 players focused on competitive success. The Development Squad has about 24 players and trains once weekly under the direction of Main Squad coaches. We train for all the badminton disciplines: si

ngles, doubles and mixed.

​CUBaC competes in the BUCS league, with the men's and the women's team in Midlands 2B. We also compete in the South Cambridgeshire League, where our men's and mixed teams both compete in the Premiership division. The main event for the year is the annual Varsity Match against Oxford, where 5 teams compete for victory and Half Blues are awarded to first team players. The history of badminton's Varsity between Oxford and Cambridge dates back to 1928 and is the highlight of our players' calendars. It is the moment when players are united by a desire to beat Oxford and come out victorious! As a reward for so much time spent together training, we organise a lively social calendar for our members. Highlights include Christmas Dinner, our 'Old Boys' alumni event and of course Varsity Dinner with Oxford. CUBaC administers the inter-College badminton league, with 72 teams and about 400 players, and organises the annual Cuppers tournament between Colleges. For more information, see our website!

The alumni's matriculation dates ranged from 1969 to 2017, and they had (understandably) flocked from far and wide to make the event. Perhaps i...

Without further ado, lets get onto the match reports! Badminton Varsity took place at Iffley Road, Oxfo...
