Saturday 9th March 2024

A review of the BUCS Scottish Conference Finals, held in St Andrews on the 6th of March 2024, which featured 9 different sports!

The excitement and anticipation in St Andrews were immense as the town played host to the BUCS Scottish Conference Finals 2024 on Wednesday the 6th of March. A total of 22 fixtures and 9 different sports gave many student athletes the chance to make a memory they would not soon forget, and the opportunity to bring home valuable silverware to their University or College.

The opening act of the 2024 Conference Finals saw St Andrews University 3s face-off against Stirling University 2s in the Women’s Hockey Trophy. A large following of Stirling supporters and a strong home crowd for St Andrews created a passionate atmosphere for the first game of the day. A hardly fought first half meant Stirling opened the 3rd quarter with a slender 2-1 lead. However, shortly after the half-time break Stirling’s quality began to show and the match finished 6-1 in favour of the visitors.

Despite the grey skies and bitter temperature, the impressive standard of hockey continued in the Women’s Hockey Cup when Edinburgh University 4s took on Aberdeen University 1s. A back-and-forth 70 minutes eventually resulted in Aberdeen University lifting the cup, after they held onto their 3-2 lead in the final minutes of the game.

The Men’s Trophy final provided another opportunity for St Andrews University to clinch hockey silverware. This time, an impressive performance produced a gold medal for their 3s, who beat out Edinburgh University 6s 3-0.

The final hockey affair of the day was Edinburgh University 3s vs Aberdeen University 1s in the Men’s Hockey Cup. A heated affair soon lost any sort of discipline, leading to the referees having to brandish multiple cards, including a red to one University of Aberdeen player. With Aberdeen 3-2 down, they pushed intensely for a 3rd goal, playing without a goalkeeper for the last 5 minutes. However, they were punished for missing too many chances and Edinburgh University were able to hold on at the death.

The first tennis event of the day involved 2 impressive teams, with Strathclyde University 1s facing Dundee University 1s in the Women’s Tennis Cup. There was brilliant entertainment on show for spectators including 2 closely fought matches that required tiebreaks to decide the winner. Ultimately, Dundee came away with a victory, winning 5-1 on the day.

Despite the unfortunate wind and rain, incredible tennis was still on display from both Edinburgh University and Stirling University in the Women’s Tennis Trophy which followed fast four rules. A brilliant outing from Stirling Women’s #1 and #2 who did not drop a match in both their respective singles and doubles together proved to be the difference maker. Stirling won 4-2 overall.

Heriot-Watt University went up against Edinburgh Napier University in the Men’s Tennis Trophy which also took place in a fast four format. Despite a great effort from Napier’s #1 who recorded a convincing singles victory, Heriot-Watt proved to be the stronger team on the day resulting in a 5-1 victory.

In the Men’s Tennis Cup Stirling University 5s took on St Andrews University 2s. This matchup provided highly competitive, back and forth tennis, which resulted in half of the matches going to tiebreaks. Stirling were crowned champions after a 4-2 victory.

The Women’s Netball Trophy featured Strathclyde University 4s matching up against Heriot-Watt University 4s. Strathclyde asserted their dominance early meaning they took a 17-point lead into half-time. Despite Heriot-Watt showing flashes of good play in the second half, Strathclyde walked away with a comfortable 51-28 victory.

However, the Women’s Netball Cup final supplied a much closer contest. Aberdeen University 1s trailed Edinburgh University 3s by just a single point heading into the final quarter. A huge effort in the final 15 minutes by Edinburgh led to them lifting the cup after a 41-33 win. The early stages of the Men’s Football Trophy final were a tightly contested affair, however after Edinburgh University 4s opened the scoring their confidence levels elevated and they put in a dominant performance. Eventually resulting in a 10-0 win over a hard-working Edinburgh College 1s team.

A huge display of home support was on show in the Men’s Football Cup final as St Andrews University 1s battled against Stirling University 3s. The Saints took advantage of early pressure and gave their many fans something to cheer about when they scored just minutes into the match. Stirling applied pressure in St Andrews defensive third for much of the match, but a composed performance resulted in a 3-0 win for the home team.

The final football fixture of the 2024 conference finals involved Stirling 2s versus Heriot-Watt 1s in the Women’s Football Cup. An intense game which saw chances for both sides and moments of individual brilliance came down to the final moments on a cold, windy night. Heriot-Watt established an early lead after scoring on the 15 minute mark, but Stirling cancelled it out with 2 goals of their own either side of half-time. Stirling were able to sustain late pressure from Heriot-Watt and defend their 2-1 lead until the final whistle. Spectators watched on in suspense while the Heriot-Watt goalkeeper made a flurry of crucial saves.

The Men’s Rugby Trophy got off to a rip-roaring start. Physical play from Stirling University 2s and costly penalties by Strathclyde University 3s resulted in a 19-0 lead for the men in green. However, Strathclyde were able to weather the storm and begin to put some points on the board themselves. However, Stirling came out victorious on the day, 46-22. In no small part due to their set piece dominance.

Two impressive teams faced off in the Men’s Rugby Cup when Stirling University 1s played Glasgow University 2s. A muddy pitch and whipping winds proved to be difficult conditions for the two sides who still put on a thoroughly entertaining display of rugby. Stirling pulled off a 27-14 win that provided great pleasure to their many fans watching. The game included a man of the match display from Stirling’s loosehead prop who was excellent around the breakdown and showed off some bone-breaking carries.

Heriot-Watt University 1s played Aberdeen University 1s in the Women’s Rugby Cup final. Heriot-Watt came flying out of the gate with several early tries meaning they established a healthy lead. They continued their impressive performance with slick passes and line-breaking runs which contributed to a huge 78-0 win despite the tireless effort of the Aberdeen players who fought until the final whistle.

Two teams determined to lift silverware faced off in the Mixed Badminton Cup Final. Intense rallies which featured spectacular moments of technique impressed spectators in the matches between Glasgow University 2s and Edinburgh University 2s. Despite some impressive performances from Glasgow, Edinburgh proved to be the stronger squad on the day, leaving St Andrews as 11-1 victors.

Stirling University 1s took an early lead and held possession for most of the first quarter against Glasgow University 2s in the Women’s Lacrosse Cup. A number of stunning saves from the Glasgow goalkeeper meant Stirling were unable to extend their lead. Glasgow was able to capitalise on Stirling’s missed opportunities and eventually ran away with the match which finished 18-4. Meaning Glasgow would be the team to bring the cup down South.

An eager crowd and high-flying action were on show in the Women’s Volleyball Cup. A commanding performance produced a straight sweep in sets for Edinburgh University 2s who beat Glasgow University 2s, 3-0.

A thrilling match with a booming atmosphere followed when Dundee University 1s grappled with Heriot-Watt University 1s in the Men’s Volleyball Cup final. Vicious spikes and elbow-scraping dives featured in a strong Heriot-Watt performance meaning they took the first two sets with relative ease. However, Dundee showed great fight in the third set, at one point erasing a 5 point deficit to tie the set at 14-14. Unfortunately for Dundee, Heriot-Watt regained momentum in the set following a timeout from their coach and eventually won the match 3-0.

Basketball was on the agenda for the closing matches of the 2024 Conference Finals. Aberdeen University 1s faced Dundee University 1s in the Women’s Basketball Cup. A closely contested opening 2 quarters resulted in a slim Dundee lead at half-time. Dundee’s physicality proved to be too much for Aberdeen as a number of offensive rebounds lead to second chance points for Dundee who extended their lead to 11 by the final buzzer. The match finished 52-41.

The climax of the day’s events showcased the Men’s Basketball Cup. A highly rated Stirling University 1s team matched up against Robert Gordon University 1s in a venue packed full of spectators who cheered on both sides from the bleachers. From the first moments of the game Stirling came out hot, finding ways to score on all 3 levels and RGU’s defence did not appear to have any answers. RGU were able to find some momentum in the game but still found themselves down 17 points down at halftime. Stirling cruised their way through the 2nd half and were crowned champions following a 95-75 victory.

BUCS Scottish Conference Finals 2024 was a wonderful event which was only made possible by the hard-work and dedication of referees, Saints Sport staff, and volunteers. Check out photos from the day on our social media accounts below.

Coach of the Year: Scott MacAulay (University of Stirling, Tennis)

Also shortlisted: Rachel Cremin (University of Strathclyde, Netball), Mat Trodden (University of Edinburgh, Swimming)

It’s been an unprecedented year of success for University of Stirling Tennis under Scott.

This year the Men’s 1’s claimed a historic ‘quadruple crown’, holding all four BUCS 25/26 titles simultaneously – being named Individual, Doubles, League and National Champions.

Across the club, the Women’s 2’s claimed promotion to BUCS Premier North, and sides claimed medals in the Women’s National Championship, Men’s National Vase and Men’s National Trophy.

Aiming to widen participation, the club regularly collaborate with other clubs to support their S&C offering, breaking down barriers between sports. Active community links too are providing opportunities for members with discounts, seminars and mentorship.

Team of the Year: University of Stirling Tennis Men’s 1’s

Also shortlisted: University of Edinburgh Hockey Men’s 1’s, University of Glasgow Lacrosse Men’s 1’s, West College Scotland Football Men’s 1’s

It’s been a historic season for Stirling Men’s Tennis. The squad completed a clean sweep of all four national BUCS titles – Individual Championship, Doubles Championship, National League, and National Championship – finishing their league campaign undefeated as defending champions.

Beyond the team results, individual scholars have been making their mark. Nemanja Malesevic claimed the Scottish Indoor title and ITF M25 Nottingham Doubles.

Female Athlete of the Year: Angharad Evans (University of Stirling, Swimming)

Also shortlisted: Megan Keith (University of Edinburgh, Athletics), Toni Shaw (University of Aberdeen, Swimming)

Our 24/25 Female Athlete of the Year, Angharad has enjoyed another exceptional year in the pool.

He secured £2,000 in equipment funding, grew membership by 35%, and shifted the club’s identity toward an outdoor-focused programme.

Dr Rob Macpherson Award: Becca Brooks (Scottish Student Trampoline)

Over six years as a volunteer in student sport, Becca has held multiple leadership roles from her trampoline club, through to becoming Scottish Student Trampoline Comms Officer, Treasurer, and for the last two years, Chair.

They have played a key role in driving inclusivity and participation, creating an environment that supports competitive opportunities for students of all abilities.

Becca has massively contributed to running some of our biggest events, including the Scottish Student Trampoline Open, engaging over 2,700 students during their tenure.

SSS Special Recognition Award: Katherine Duncan (University of Edinburgh)

Katherine originally took on the role of SSS Grampian Chair way back in 2018 before stepping up to the Development Committee Chair role in 2021/2022. Her contribution since has been nothing short of extraordinary – Katherine has been in role for long enough that she’s on her fourth Head of Development!

The past 12 months have been challenging in a variety of ways in the Development space and Katherine has been a rock throughout. Not only has she ensured the work of SSS Development continues to represent its members and their ongoing needs but also brings to the forefront a care for SSS staff. Always prepared, always thoughtful and always keen to bring things forward, KC has been an ever present in all areas that being Development Committee Chair brings whether it be Exec, Management Group and particularly with her passion and focus for all things Development.

Honorary President’s Medal: Cameron Ritchie (University of Edinburgh)

2026 marks 25 years of exceptional service to Sport and Active Health at the University of Edinburgh for Cameron. Often working behind the scenes, in his last decade as Head of Operation he oversaw a raft of major facility upgrades, making Edinburgh one of the UK’s top Scottish sports institutions.

In particular, his leadership during Covid stands out in what was a challenging time for the team and the sector due to the demands on operational safety. Cameron provided calm, structured, and forward-thinking guidance during this time.

Cameron has always embodied the values of dedication, innovation and integrity that make him truly deserving of the Honorary President’s Medal.

Honorary President’s Medal: Paul McPate (University of Dundee)

For over four decades, Paul has played a defining role shaping opportunities for sports participation and development at the University of Dundee, and across the SSS Network, demonstrating commitment extending beyond his professional role.

As Co-Director, Sport and Active Health at the University of Dundee, Paul has been pivotal at shaping an inclusive, student-centred sporting environment that has allowed tens of thousands of students to engage and flourish in sport.

At national level he has made numerous contributions across roles with BUCS Scottish Volleyball and SSS – including holding the role of Women’s Volleyball Chair since 1991.

Paul retired last month, leaving a legacy of impact for generations of students and colleagues, and the wider sporting landscape, that will be carried on long into the future.
