Saturday 9 April 2022 saw an exciting clash between the North and South as they competed to win the title of 2022’s GB Student Allstars!

The game turned into a thriller at the end with the North providing a late comeback but unfortunately, they could not finish and the South came out triumphant.

The two players in contention for the MVP were both first year players in BUCS with South QB Alfie Birks winning the title. Alfie currently plays for Bournemouth Bobcats, a Div 2 BUCS team – further showcasing the depth of British talent across the BUCS structure.

We would like to thank everyone for their support leading up to the game and on the day.
