Athletics & Cross-Country
Athletics Cuppers is held twice a year, in Michaelmas and Trinity terms. Thanks to huge pride and love of stash in Trinity, our turnout surpasses all the other inferior colleges and we have won absolutely everything in recent times. Let's keep winning! If you are interested in taking the sport more seriously, the University Athletics Club runs regular training sessions. OUAC Website
Contact Eloise Waldon-Day for more details.
Badminton
There is Badminton Cuppers in Hilary Term, and hopefully soon there will be training sessions organised at a nearby venue.
Contact Chee Onn for more details.
Basketball
Basketball is literally the best sport ever, and Trinity is where its at. Most of our all-star players only started playing when they arrived at Trinity, so all abilities welcome. The Mens League runs during Michaelmas and Hilary term, and Mens and Womens Cuppers run in Trinity term. Lucy Dean and Alex Attard-Manche are heading up the Womens team this year, so get in touch with them if you want to get involved. Trainings are generally on the weekend, with games on weekdays.

Boat Club
The most successful undergraduate Boat Club on the river!
(Torpids, February 2009). If you are interested in rowing for Trinity, or would like any more information please see See the Boat Club website
Contact Andrew Down for more details.
Cricket
The time has come for all cricketers in Trinity to stand up and be counted. Trinity College Cricket Club (TCCC) had a fine season in 2011, wining the JCR 3rd Division. However, we always need new Batsmen, Bowlers, Fielders and others to join the side. Due to the length of cricket matches we will also be in need of people to come and field when others have tutes etc. , so any non cricketers who are willing to help out are appreciated.
Contact Edward Birkett for more details.
Croquet
Summer term sees the lawns swamped with eager students trying their hand at that majestic game of croquet. Trinity has a fine tradition in the university-wide cuppers competition (which incidentally is the largest croquet competition in the world), with Trinity entering around 20 teams in 2011. All are encouraged to participate- for those freshers that have never played before, there will be plenty of opportunities to pick up some skills at the start of Trinity term and hopefully a "how to play session". An email will be sent out at the end of Hilary term to find out who is interested in entering Cuppers. We will also try to organise an intra-College tournament. Stay alert.
Contact Edward Birkett for more details.
Football (Men's)
Football at Trinity is relaxed, and although matches are competitive a great deal of experience isn't necessary and it is more orientated around having fun. We have two teams and a number of social events throughout the year.
FIRST TEAM: Games are most Fridays in Michaelmas and Hilary term. Contact Alex Stevenson for details.
SECOND TEAM: Matches usually on weekends. Contact Rob Gray for details.
Contact Alex Stevenson or Rob Gray for more details.
Football (Women's)
We have a joint team with LMH, all standards welcome! We play matches or a Sunday or Saturday, and training is available on Saturday mornings if you wish! Do come along, it's great fun and absolutely no pressure!
Contact Katie Roe for more details.
Hockey
MEN'S TEAM: Trinity's hockey team is essentially mixed and has recently been re-established after a split from LMH. In the space of two years, the team has been promoted from the bottom division right up to the premier league. Its quite a relaxed affair while still being decent quality and we try and book the astro for a social time of day.
WOMEN'S TEAM: There is usually a team for cuppers..
MIXED TEAM: Mixed cuppers comes around in the summer term and is really good fun as a break from revision or whatever else.
Contact Thomas Olver for more details.
Netball
We have 2 teams, one fairly serious and the other for anyone who wants to come along and play. Practices for absolutely anyone on Sundays. Congratulations to our B Team who have been promoted to the third division, and well done also to the A Team who more than held their own against the big cheese in Division 1, especially for being the ONLY team to beat champions New College! Let's keep up the good work this term - anybody who is interested in playing (including boys) just let one of us know and we'll add you to the mailing list...
Contact Hannah Palacci or Phoebe Bragg for more details.
Rugby
Trinity have their own rugby team that is in its first season in the leagues, following a split from LMH (who we still still have some links with). We are starting off in the bottom division, but we have hopes for rapid promotion whilst keeping the fun in the side. We train once or twice a week as needed, usually on weekends, and we play on Thursday afternoons. Get in touch with me if you want to get involved.
Contact Glen Dobbs for more details.
Squash
Trinity 1st team came second in the Premiership in Michaelmas term. A good result for a small college.
The reserves team topped their table to get into the reserves Premiership, very impressive given the team was formed only last term.
The squash court is free and on college grounds. Take advantage as it is one of the best courts in Oxford and book by following the link given. Online Booking.
To get involved in the ladder contact Alex Eastwood (beginners welcome) and get involved. p.s. Squash was voted the healthiest sport, in the world, ever. (2009 Forbes)
Contact Cameron McKelvie for more details.
Table Football
Trinity has a table football team joint with St Peters college. After a big win against Merton (walkover)and a close 6-5 win against Teddy Hall A's we look to dominate (or just play) in the Hilary season.
Contact Cameron McKelvie for more details.
Tennis
We have 2 hard courts and 3 grass courts at our sports ground at Marston Road. They're free of course and if you would like to use the hard courts you need to book them on this website first, and sign for the court key at the lodge before you go. If you intend to use the grass courts then you will need to sign for the main gate key at weekends, but it will be left open in the week. There is a tennis afternoon on Sundays at 2-4pm at Marston Road throughout Trinity Term, turn up with a 4, drink Pimms and play some doubles. For those who would like to play matches there are League and Cuppers teams for both ladies and men. There is also a tournament for members of Trinity in Trinity term. There is a pair of spare rackets and a tin of balls in the lodge, which anyone can use. You will need to sign for these with the key. If you would like to join in the practice games, or play matches, please contact Cameron Mckelvie (Men's) or Elly Whitaker (Women's).

Trinity Ultimate Frisbee
We enter 2009 off the back of a record breaking season last year for Trinity Ultimate Frisbee. In fact, our bounding enthusiasm and dazzling yellow kit lead to quite simply the best display of results our college has ever produced. Established in 2008, Trinity Ultimate Frisbee is also proud to boast being undeniably the most popular sport Trinity has to offer. In no other sport that I am aware is getting this muddy a higher priority than even the match itself. I have no doubt many freshers will have never heard of the sport, let alone played it, but that is entirely the norm. You are still all warmly welcome and I strongly encourage you to join us in the park and give it a go, if not the Freshers' social will definitely be worth coming to!
