Football

Vanbrugh Football is one of the most successful college sports teams at York. With over 40 guys turning up to training on a weekly basis and 4 teams, it's no wonder they were able to send 2 teams to Dublin this Easter to take part in Doxbridge 2011 (the sports tournament vs colleges from Durham, Oxford and Cambridge). Not only were we the only college to send two teams for any one sport, but the guys did us proud and brought back the Doxbridge Football trophy!
