Jade Marsella, Vice President of Sports and Health at The Students’ Union at UWE, commented “I am so proud of everyone who represented UWE Bristol at the BUCS Nationals and contributed to this result. Sporting competitions like the BUCS Nationals are key in helping athletes at UWE Bristol gain valuable experience in a competitive environment and with Varsity just around the corner, are a great chance to get some vital practise in.”
