More Oxford and Cambridge water polo photos

Three Old Elizabethans played in the historic Varsity rugby and water polo fixtures this term, with at least half-a-dozen others currently representing Oxford and Cambridge in the universities’ clubs.

Cambridge captain Ben Rock (2016–2023) and Avi Juneja (2018–2025) competed together in water polo’s oldest fixture, first played in 1891. Avi is pictured here taking a penalty in the Varsity match shoot-out. In rugby, Joel Anjorin (2018–2025) secured his Blue from Oxford in The Varsity Match at StoneX Stadium. Others involved include: Cambridge first-team water polo players Andreas Angelopolous (2018–2025) and Yuto Watanabe (2015–2022); team coach Alex Norcliffe (2009–2016); Oxford University Water Polo Club player Suryansh Sarangi (2018–2025); and OURFC members Victor Angelov and Taro Niimura (both 2016–2023).
