York impresses in Varsity performance against Durham Despite losing 27-37 to Durham in last weekend’s Varsity tournament York put up a good fight. Although many thought that York would get annihilated by Durham the points came down to the last match of the weekend which Durham needed to win to win. In fact if York had won, the tournament would have been a draw. With Durham being consid- ered one of the top Universities in the country for sport this is a great achievement for York.
