| Who deserves to call themselves FaT/BPBC multisport champions? | |
1. Rowing - For the second year running, FaT M1, M2 and W1 all beat their BPBC counterparts.
2. Football - In the inaugural fixture, FaT win 2-1 after BPBC have an injury-time goal disallowed.
3. Golf - BPBC run out comfortable 7-2 winners, and also win the Womens' (sic) and Adaptive version.
4. Cricket - The fixture is rained off twice; BPBC seem to have the gods on their side and retain their title by default.
So two wins apiece, but are some worth more than others? Who wins overall? |
