University Match (hockey)

The annual contest between the University's second, third & fourth teams takes place in February, alternating venue between Oxford's Iffley Road Pitch and Cambridge's recently re-laid Wilberforce Road Pitch.

The 2025 fixture is to take place at Southgate Hockey Club in early March (date tbc.).

The match is currently sponsored by JMAN Group, a leading management consultancy.

In the last decade, shuffles have decided matches that are level at the end of normal playing time.

Similar to a football penalty shoot out, shuffles gives 5 players from each team a period of eight seconds to beat the keeper when starting from the 23 yard line.
