This term's top student reps

• Academic Course Rep of the Month (November): Claireece coordinated a unified response to first‑year disruptions from redundancies, industrial action, lost placement support, and fee disparities.

As we head into the Winter break, Brunel Sport is flying high with seven teams sitting in the Top 3 of their leagues — an incredible first half of the season, but one team has truly stolen the spotlight:

American Football, who remain unstoppable with a perfect 5 wins from 5 in the Premier South League, leading the table and looking to keep that momentum rolling into the new year.

Cup competitions are heating up too, with six teams progressing to their respective Quarter Finals. Among them, Men’s Basketball 1st team and Men’s Rugby Union 2nd team have powered their way into the National Trophy.

In BUCS Super Rugby our Women’s Rugby Union 1st XV, sit in 5th in the Highest league in University Rugby. With 3 big wins this season.

It’s been a phenomenal start and the second half of the season is looking even more exciting.
