BUCS Wednesdays are back in full force so The Mancunion Sports Correspondents spent the day with University of Manchester Netball Club. Here is the recap of the teams and their winning Wednesdays
As the days get older, the nights get darker and studies get stressful, we at least have Winning Wednesdays at University of Manchester to get us through the long, cold winter! Every week, The Mancunion will bring you a round-up of games across the university’s sports teams that are competing in BUCS, as well as advertise upcoming fixtures so that our readers can get to the games and support.
