Collegiate Lincoln
Sports at Lincoln
There are a wide range of College sports teams for all levels, from football and netball teams, to basketball and pool, most of which require no previous experience to join. The College teams are great fun and are consistently successful. For many, joining a sports team is an important part of their time at Lincoln where they can escape the everyday pressures and make friends for life.
Each year, the College supports a number of ‘Blues’ and 'Half Blues'; students who compete in their respective sports for the University itself, which often includes matches against other universities at some of the best sports pitches in the country. In order to do this effectively, Lincoln has a ‘Blues Fund’ which assists towards the expenses of those who play in the University teams.
Our Blues Award Recipients
Alexandra Solovyev
"I would like to express my thanks to the alumni of Lincoln College for funding the Blues Award for providing me the opportunity to discover real tennis and to improve so drastically in the sport in the short amount of time I have been playing thus far. I began my real tennis career at a handicap of 68, and I now hold a handicap of 52. I have carried on playing since the varsity match and plan to carry on playing long into the future. Later this year, I also hope to play some competitive tournaments around the country, and my goal is to lower my handicap into the high 40s by the end of the year."

" I am immensely grateful for my Blues Award. Your generous support allowed me to contribute towards my subs, essential for my participation this season. It is also a key source of income for the club, especially after multiple years of financial troubles. Supporting OUAFC for another season with your help was thus a source of pride for me."
