In the 2018-19 season, the OUIHC has set a number of benchmarks for participation in university sport. In March, Joanna Li How Cheong became the first woman to participate in both the Women’s and the Men’s Varsity Matches. Having made the Men’s Blues straight out of Michaelmas Term try-outs, she went on to be the backbone of both the Men’s Blues and Women’s Blues Varsity Match squads. In recognition of her achievement and her outstanding play in the 101st Men’s Blues Varsity Match, Joanna was awarded a Full Blue and in doing so became the first women to receive a Full Blue for participation in the Men’s Blues Varsity Match. An outstanding achievement to recognise an outstanding athlete. Well done, Joanna!
