The second of two matches that took place at Hillsborough on April 10 for our latest feature. This was the "Big One" in the Varsity Football matches. Having already won the Varsity for the first time in ten years, Sheffield University could finish the 2013 event on a high at Hillsborough and do what their female counterparts failed to achieve earlier in the afternoon. A crowd of over 3200 made Hillsborough feel like it was full to capacity with the noisy atmosphere created by both sets of supporters.
