Bear Cavalry completed a clean sweep of mixed tours as the
mixed season came to a close in a windswept Cheltenham.
The Bears joined Manchester City and Conchita Wurst to make
it a weekend of favourites prevailing over inferior opposition. The comparisons
end there, unfortunately, as facial hair was sparse among the Bears girls, as
well as among the ‘men’ and they weren’t reliant on a host of foreign stars
either.
Not only have they now won all three of this season’s mixed
tours, they have also remained unbeaten throughout and have never been
seriously threatened.
Cambridge put up a good fight in the final however, scoring
four points in a row in the second half, but the damage had already been done.
Bears took an early lead, punching in an upwind offence
point right at the beginning and following it up with a downwind break to take
a 2-0 head start. It was quite literally an uphill battle from then onwards for
Cambridge, who were unable to use their punting skills in the high winds and did
well to finish off with just a five point deficit at 17-12.
