Derby Day was once again, a massive success! Did make it down?🏆
Led by your Sport and Student Development Officer, Ella, Derby Day showed off what you can achieve as an FTO, especially when you have a vision to celebrate the best of student sport.
Throughout the day, we welcomed 9 rival universities to Bristol and thousands of you turned up to support and compete. The mood across Coombe Dingle was electric, the sun was shining and everywhere you looked there was great competition!
As the day came to an end and the sun began to set, we were treated to rugby matches featuring both our men’s and women’s teams who faced up against Birmingham 🏉
Congratulations to all the athletes who took part in Derby Day 2026!
For now, enjoy some of the best photos from the day and maybe see you next year? Come on Bristol 💪
