As the sporting season comes to an end, we’re wrapping up our regular British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) and wider competitions. Over this season, our teams have had some major successes with Marjon scholars playing a key role in achieving these results!

The University has risen eight places in the BUCS rankings already, exceeding our initial expectations and putting Marjon in league with some much larger institutions.

Celebrating recent success! 

⚽️

Our football scholars have enjoyed a tough record-breaking season, collecting four titles this year. Our men’s first team scored a league and cup double win, securing a promotion to Western Tier 1. Our women’s first team are revelling in an unbeaten season, collecting the conference cup as they go.

In wheelchair basketball, Marjon Scholars have been competing on the continent for Plymouth Fusion at the IWBF EuroCup 2024.

Our swim team relished another successful BUCS nationals competition at the Swimming Long Course Championships 2023-24 where Marjon scholars broke University records! Some of the swimming scholars travelled to London to compete in the Team GB Olympic Swimming Championship. The scholars did very well, achieving lots of top 50 results and breaking some personal bests!

The men’s 1 basketball team were crowned the BUCS Western Men’s Tier 1 Champions!
