Cambridge Blue finished 10th overall in the 18-round Swiss League at the Wilson 70 Trophy 2019 held at West Kirby, Wirral 10-12th May 2019. They were just two places short of the quarter finals and well ahead of BUSA Champions Exeter Blue (17th). Cambridge Black finished 25th – clear of Manchester (30th) and Exeter Black (36th). Congratulations to Blue and Black on a great performance in a top-flight event!
The Society (almost entirely Cambridge alumni) finished 3rd overall in the Swiss League, but went out 2-0 in the quarter finals to a strong Days of Thunder (USA) team. Overall winner was East Coast Drifters (USA), with Birdham Bandits runners-up.
