But, as you say, nothing wrong at all with losing by simply being outbuzzed by your opponents, so fair play to them.<br /><br />Another excellent offering from Balliol though, though the QFs will be probably their biggest challenge yet against a team that are more their equals (my guess is they'll play Wolfson or Warwick); if they can still perform that well against either of them, they surely must be seriously fancied.<br /><br />Well that's it for regular UC this year; the Christmas series begins on Monday for two weeks, and we resume in the New Year with Corpus Christi vs Peterhouse and Oriel vs Bristol.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
