Ohio Orumen, Vice President Student Involvement at Bucks Students’ Union, who played in the winning rugby game, said: “It was a great day and I’m very proud of the students who worked so hard to bring a win to Bucks. Their commitment is testament to the pride they demonstrate each week when they pull on a Bucks jersey. I’d also like to thank the Students’ Union Students’ Activities team and all the volunteers who worked so hard to make the event such a tremendous success. We’re already looking forward to Varsity 2017.”
