Varsity clash pits UQ against QUT in nine events

Nine sports. Two Queensland universities. One winner.

As if Orientation Week at UQ wasn’t already big enough, The University of Queensland will host arch nemesis QUT in a battle royale on Thursday 23 February – the day after Market Day.

Starting at 1pm, the inaugural Varsity Clubs Clash pits UQ and QUT together in a smorgasbord of pursuits, starting with basketball and ending with rugby league, and featuring seven other sports jammed in between.

A joint initiative between UQ Sport and QUT Sport, the Varsity Clubs Clash will be held on a rotating basis, with UQ home to the event in 2017 and QUT hosting in 2018.

The schedule for the day is as follows:
