But enough of that, well done to Sam Asfahani and Marc Handley, well done to the York Sport Committee and well done to everyone who has represented either side this weekend. The closing ceremony is at 6pm in Central Hall, where plenty of awards will be handed out including the new Ernst & Young trophy for Player of the Tournament. Be sure to check Nouse tonight and tomorrow as our reports and photographs from this weekend go up. Until next year, goodbye.

16.45

A special mention to Technical Director Andrew Fairbairn who has been incredible. Nouse has managed to be ahead on the scores for the majority of the tournament and that is down to him. He has also put up with phonecalls at ridiculous hours and non-sensical requests. Thank you to him.

16.44

Josh Baines MOTM at the firsts football. Manager Peter Renton says had his side had Baines at the start of the year, they would have gone up.

16.44

A touch of self-indulgence here, very briefly. A massive thank you to George Bouras, Sam Morgan, David Ambrozejczyk, Simon Bromley, Chris Underwood, Will Light, Tom Shipman, Jonathan Frost, Martin Spurr, Adam Shergold, Richard Costello, Joe Cormack, Jivan Mohanty, Camilla Apcar, Tess Webb, Sophie Gorman, Megan Hanney, Jess Haines, Liam Woodcock, Philippa Grafton, Justyn Hardcastle, Peter Iveson and everyone who helped by sending in scores and updates.

16.43

Some action from the Mens 1sts Fixture

The Red card for the Lancaster captain

Connor Brennan missed York’s penalty

Images – Justyn Hardcastle

16.37

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is that. The final score for Roses 2011 is York 176.5 – 104.5 Lancaster. It’s been an extremely eventful few days, certainly an enjoyable few days, and the big news is that York have regained the Carter-James trophy. Lancaster’s horrible away record in Roses continues.

16.36

Full-time at the men’s football firsts and it ends 1-0 to York.

16.34

MISSED! Brennan smashes it over. Horrible penalty. It is still 1-0, somehow, with both sides missing penalties.

16.33

Tom Clarke skins the right-back down the line, turns inside, it’s a clear trip and a definite penalty.

16.33

Penalty York!

16.32

Tom Clarke then played through one-on-one, he has all the time in the world but the Lancaster keeper pulls off the save to keep his side in the game.

16.31

A great Mcleod free-kick is nodded down by Taylor, Clarke shoots wide.

16.30

Lancaster captain has been sent off! Jake thinks it’s for dissent. Phil Taylor ran down the line and took it out, they played on and then a foul was given against the Lancaster skipper who proceeded to blow his top and get dismissed.

16.29

Jake says Mcleod is running the show, linking up nicely with Taylor he spreads it to Atherton who fizzes a nice low ball across the box but nobody’s there to double York’s advantage.

16.28

Mcleod send Clarke away down the right, his cut-back finds Dan Atherton but his shot goes over. Still 1-0 to York.

16.27

@Uni Bball

Apologies. We tried our best to cover everything as well as we could. It’s nothing personal to basketball, the reporter who went there enjoyed it immensely and sent plenty of updates. The phone that people text to is constantly going and sometimes things get missed. Check out the match reports later and hopefully you’ll be more satisfied.

16.25

And he’s on. Downing drink in the six yard box. Sad.

16.24

Streaker imminent says Jake…I’m getting the graphic prepared.

16.22

Mark Mcleod penalised for a high foot. Getting tasty now. It’s not like Mark Mcleod to get in trouble with referees…

16.20

What a story that is. Tim Green hasn’t played as a goalkeeper for over a year, makes his first appearance for a while and pulls off a great save in a massive match. Roy of the Rovers stuff.

16.19

SAVED! Tim Green makes a cracking save low to his left. It remains 1-0 to York.

16.18

Jake doesn’t think it should have been a penalty. Can Lancaster make it 1-1?

16.18

Penalty to Lancaster!

16.16

Jake’s latest text simply reads: “Ref’s having a mare”.

16.15

Mawdesley gives the ball away on the half-way line, Lancaster push forward but are denied by a cracking challenge by Josh Baines, the ball going out for a corner.

16.13

Andrew wonders whether the new croquet kit was claimed on expenses…an interesting question.

16.12

Josh Baines just been given a talking-to for an over-enthusiastic shoulder barge at the firsts football.

16.11

The images everybody wanted to see. CROQUET.

Images: Philippa Grafton

16.10

Lancaster Chancellor Sir Chris Bonnington claims the ‘lawn is too rough’. Quite clearly jealous of Cantor’s croquet prowess.

16.09

More news from the croquet, and a quote from Greg Dyke: “Tim and I have been practicing, we bought the new set on this time”.

16.08

As predicted Mcleod making the difference.

16.08

A great ball from Mcleod was met by a Josh Baines header. The keeper saved it but Dan Atherton was on hand to open the scoring.

16.07

1-0 York in the football!

16.06

And York win the croquet – according to Frosty. Yipee.

16.05

We’re nearing the end of the croquet apparently. I believe we’re winning. Can’t be sure though. We’ll see soon.

16.04

Some Lancaster fans accuse Tim of ‘showboating’. Not our Tim. You show them YUSUprez, let’s beat them now.

16.04

But it’s a poor attempt. It’s still 0-0.

16.03

Lancaster free-kick in a dangerous position at the firsts football…

16.02

Mcleod didn’t start because of exams, says manager Peter Renton. Hopefully he can inspire York to victory here.

16.01

And ex-Darlington professional Mark Mcleod is on, replacing Nav Jabarkhyl.

16.00

Lancaster’s VC, the one with the tie on, is an agressive but overzealous player. He swings well wide of the hoop and his exrtavagance will cost him two shots to get back in line. Frosty sounds like an expert.

15.59

Camilla Apcar not impressed: “Rowdy Lancaster supporters ruining decorum”

15.59

Back to the high-octane croquet, York are killing time at the fourth peg as Lancaster get stuck on the fourth hoop.

15.58

Great chance at the football for Atherton, good work for Brennan puts him through. he tries to dink it but it’s well saved.

15.58

Lancaster’s VC still has his tie on. The only one. His shots are the only bad ones. Coincidence?

15.56

Andrew Fairbairn at the croquet: “Croquet is one of the poshest games known to man. Nearly as bad as Polo”

15.55

Mark Mcleod is at the game and is warming up, we thought he wasn’t playing. If he comes on, he could make the difference.

15.54

Tim Green flicks away a dangerous cross well and then rushes out to claim at the feet of Lancaster. Great keeping.

15.54

15.53

Mawdesley is down at the firsts football, perhaps everybody’s favourite Mackem Phil Taylor will be brought on?

15.52

Make of this what you will croquet fans: “York got one ball to the last hoop, everyone on to the fourth (of six)”. I have no clue what’s going on, but am assured we are winning.

15.51

York are ahead at the croquet – thank the lord.

15.50

The second half is underway at the men’s firsts football. Brennan makes a cynical challenge within moments.

15.50

There’s a hold-up round the third hoop. York still ahead though. Brian Cantor looks impatient.

15.48

Lancaster supporter strawpedoing a bottle of wine in the centre circle. Nobody interested. Quite sad really.

15.48

CROQUET NEWS: Some balls went into the pond. The crowd went crazy as Greg Dyke held Tim’s hand to fish them out. Team-work, great to see.

15.46

Half-time at the firsts football. Turgid stuff, no real chances to speak of. 0-0.

15.45

Listen to URY and Bailrigg FM’s coverage of the match here. Oddly, we seem to be about two minutes ahead of them, which thoroughly confused me. Jake must be texting insanely quickly.

15.43

A Brennan flick into the channel gets Beadle in but he blazes over from the angle.

15.42

York should have scored. A Clarke free-kick couldn’t be met by either Baines or Jabarkhyl.

15.42

Matt Mawdesley receives a booking for one late tackle too many.

15.41

News from Jake at the firsts football: “Clarke is extremely talented. Just pulled a Tringham long ball down in the channel and hit it with his next touch. It didn’t trouble the keeper much but still, good effort”

15.40

Camilla tells me that York are streaking ahead thanks to Brian Cantor. What a man, what a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.

15.37

Another good effort from Jabarkhyl at the firsts football, both sides struggling to get it down and play.

15.36

The ties are coming off at the croquet. Mental.

15.33

The mixed volleyball is over with York taking the deciding tie-break set 15-13.

15.32

Camilla has corrected herself, they’re still double-checking the rules. Very professional.

15.31

One of the Lancaster players will be having nightmares about her serve at the mixed volleyball. 13-12 to York in the fifth set.

15.29

Nice stuff from York, Mawdesley and Jabarkhyl link up to put Atherton though, poor end product though.

15.28

Fist pumps from the White Rose as they make it 10-10 in the final set of the mixed volleyball.

15.28

News from Camilla Apcar at the croquet: “Half an hour late, they’re off! BC the VC ready for action with his sleeves rolled up”.

15.27

Brennan’s had a shot, but gathered by the Lancaster keeper.

15.26

8-5 to Lancaster in the final set of the mixed volleyball.

15.25

Lancaster going close at the men’s first football, Tim Green adjudged to have tipped it wide.

15.25

Unfortunately Mr Greg Dyke says he has played three years and has never won. Picked purely on repuation. Disgraceful. You should always pick on form.

15.24

The respective Vice-Chancellors and Chancellors have turned up at the croquet. I can see the banners now: ‘Marry Me Cantor’ and ‘We love you Greg’.

15.23

Jane Grenville says the York contingent are on their way. It could all go down to croquet…I’m kidding, it’s all over and croquet is worth no points anyway. But wouldn’t it be lovely if one year Brian Cantor sealed the points?

15.19

Still 0-0 in the men’s firsts football. No clear-cut chances as of yet.

15.19

York get the fourth set 25-7 in the mixed volleyball. That will go down to a deciding set.

15.16

A great effort from Conor Brennan after neat interplay with Nav Jabarkhyl got him in a nice position.

15.16

Capcar declares that, as of yet, there is no Cantor or Dyke at the croquet. Perhaps their limos are yet to pick them up – time will tell.

15.15

18-6 to York in the fourth set of the mixed volleyball.

15.14

Beadle feeds Clarke who puts a great ball through for Brennan but it’s pulled back for a foul. Harsh.

15.14

13-4 to York in the fourth set of the mixed volleyball.

15.13

Lancaster sabbs all having a go at croquet, don’t they know there are no subs?

15.12

Some news from the dancing, York have just sailed through their first ever dance society competition for Roses, winning all three categories of contemporary, tap and street, as well as winning overall. Tim Ngwena expresses high hopes for York Dance Society who have shown an immense ability to win Roses points next year.

15.10

Another score correction, York won the senior men’s archery, not Lancaster. Making the overall score within archery 8-2 to the White Rose.

15.09

BNOC central at the croquet; Vice Chancellors, Chancellors, SU Presidents, Sabbs, Jane Grenville. POWER SPORT.

15.05

Great touch by Conor Brennan finds Tom Clarke, but he’s just offside. Sounds like a lively start.

15.04

Nearly a goal made in Derwent at the firsts football as Dan Atherton’s brilliantly delivered corner is nearly headed home by Josh Baines.

15.03

Pictures just in from the Womens Football fixture

Images – Justyn Hardcastle

15.03

Corner cleared by York. Frenetic, says Jake.

15.01

Lancaster are up for the football, they’ve earned a corner already.

15.01

Lancaster win the third set of the mixed volleyball 25-11. Two sets to go there now, York need to win both to take the points.

15.01

Mr Tim Ngwena is setting up the croquet arena – apparently looking decidedly confused as he does so.

15.00

Underway at the men’s firsts football. I predict a 4-1 York win. Ambitious.

14.59

The brilliant Camilla Apcar is apparently the only person at the croquet. Can’t help but feel she might be at the wrong place. We’ll find out.

14.58

Back to the trampolining where Rebecca Pedley of York scores the highest score of the day: 7.8, 8.3, 8.1, 8.1, 8.3.

14.58

14.58

A quote from women’s football captain Katy Ballantyne: “A great end to a great season”. She’s delighted.

14.57

A bit more trampolining for all you fans out there and it’s been an up and down day (sorry). York bounce back (apologies) with the Elite Category as Jonathan Ward scores 7, 7.3, 7.1, 7.5, 7.0.

14.54

14.53

Correction from the canoe slalem where the Lancaster women took the two points, not York. That tips Lancaster into three figures.

14.51

And the York women’s footballers win 2-1. Great game. Well played Rose Hooks.

14.51

Sam Morgan at the mixed volleyball: “I can’t believe these volleyballers basically nosedive the unforgiving wooden flooring on the sports hall just to save one point. They all deserve medals.” 6-6 in the third set there.

14.49

Fans of the Red Rose will be happy to know they are now on 99.5. Half a point off a ton.

14.48

Gutting. Lancaster win the firsts netball 39-38. So close.

14.47

Three minutes left in the women’s football firsts. Still 2-1 to York, thanks to a Rose Hooks brace.

14.46

The archery results are in – I know you’ve all been waiting. Some of you since 9am. York pick up seven points and Lancaster take three.

14.45

Tim Green in goal for the Uni football firsts today, first appearance in goal for about a year apparently.

14.44

The second set goes Lancaster’s way in the mixed volleyball, 25-18.

14.43

Ten minutes left in the women’s football, still 2-1 to York.

14.43

35-35 in the firsts volleyball. So tight. Every goal counts now.

14.42

19-16 to Lancaster in the second set of the mixed volleyball

14.41

We’ve just spoken to Ambro who has got us the starting 11 for the Men’s firsts football team: Tim Green (GK), Alex Tringham (LB), Dan Turley (RB), Josh Baines (CB), Oscar Lynch (CB), Dan Atherton (LW), Jack Beadle (RW), Nav Jabarkyl (CM), Matt Mawdesley (CM) , Conor Brennan (ST), Tom Clarke (ST), Substitutes: Phil Taylor

14.37

York’s biggest player just went crashing into some ladies watching the Mixed Volleyball. Starting to resemble a Carry On… film down there at the minute.

14.36

Frosty has heard that Lancaster Womens football team are two leagues above us in BUCS so this would be a superb win for Katie Ballantyne’s team.

14.33

The men’s seconds football has ended 3-2 to York. Two more points to the White Rose.

14.32

At the end of the third quarter in the firsts netball it’s 29-28 to York. “This is it” adds Tess Webb. Come on Yorkie!

14.31

Morgan then goes on to tell us that one of the YSTV cameramen – and his camera – just got hit by the ball at the mixed volleyball: “scenes of hilarity ensued”.

14.30

9-5 to York in the second set of the mixed volleyball. Some great dives by York defenders to keep the ball in play have been impressing Sammy Morgan.

14.29

Frosty says the Lancaster women’s football defence is like a leaky pipe

14.27

Starting to rain on the 22. It’s dry inside the Nouse office, although tensions are risings. Cabin fever.

14.25

Toby Owen makes a good save to York ahead in the men’s seconds football.

14.25

York win first set 25-23 in the mixed volleyball

14.21

22-22 in the women’s netball firsts. Lancaster have done well to draw level. York need to fight says Tess Webb.

14.20

21-21 in the first set of volleyball mixed. Tense.

14.20

Rose Hooks is the goalscorer in the women’s football. 2-1 to York there.

14.19

Lancaster just had their first shot of the half in the men’s seconds football. Still 3-2 to York there.

14.18

Bit of news from trampolining, Lancaster dominating in the intermediate category despite injuries. York only having one entry, Kanya Param, whose second routine scored 6.7, 6.3, 5.9, 5.9, 5.9.

14.16

But it’s four points for Lancaster in the cycling.

14.16

Four points for York in the Canoe Slalem, the men’s and women’s teams both tasting victory.

14.15

It’s 2-1! Same player again. Name coming!

14.15

1-1 in the women’s football. Goalscorer coming. Cracking goal, by all accounts.

14.14

York take 13-11 lead in the first set of the mixed volleyball.

14.14

Ash Daly is having a cracker in the men’s seconds football. Ridiculous range of passing, both feet, all distances.

14.12

21-16 at the firsts netball and the York support is mounting. They need to hold on their lead here.

14.09

3-2 to York in the men’s seconds football. The Ragan brothers combine to set up James Offord for a poacher’s goal. He’s only been on five minutes!

14.03

1-0 to Lancaster at half-time in the women’s football. Frosty predicting a 3-1 York win by the end. Brave.

14.01

Tense atmosphere in the tent, York still 16-11 up in the firsts netball.

14.01

York the better team at the women’s football but they’re still 1-0 down.

13.58

Jonathan Frost is seething that the women’s football weren’t awarded a penalty.

13.57

11-7 to York at the end of the first quarter in the women’s firsts netball.

13.55

2-2 in the men’s seconds football. Tom Ragan bagging his second of the game after an Ash Daly through ball. In the words of Ambro: “Warburtons and Lurpak”, which I believe is his way of saying ‘Bread and Butted’.

13.53

Some pictures of the men’s seconds football, currently 2-1 down at half-time.

13.49

York fluff a good opportunity at the women’s football. Still 1-0 to Lancaster there.

13.47

2-1 to Lancaster at half-time in the men’s seconds football.

13.46

The firsts netball is underway. York are up 8-5 at the moment, the first quarter has five minutes to lead.

13.43

MEGA BNOC. Udy Onwudike is at the men’s football.

13.43

It’s 1-0 to Lancaster in the women’s football.

13.39

There’s an injury down at the trampolining which has caused the intermediate to be put on hold again. This time it’s Emma White from Lancaster. Ouch.

13.36

Rob Shanley coming close at the corner for the men’s football seconds but that’s about it. York looking a bit “toothless” at the moment according to Ambro.

13.34

Peter Iveson reports that “Black and Yellow” is being played down in the netball tent. Incredible scenes

13.30

Still 0-0 at the women’s football. There’s an angry coach barking at the Lancaster players.

13.27

Just a reminder, York have won Roses 2011. At 11.11 this morning the women’s basketball firsts won to add four more points to York’s total, allowing the White Rose to reach the magic figure of 141.

13.26

Tom Ragan has just had an effort saved in the men’s seconds football. Still 2-1 to Lancaster there.

13.25

@Lloydy

Apologies for the wait. It’s 0-0 at the women’s football firsts at the minute but York are on top, thanks in no small part to captain Katy Ballantyne.

13.21

A very rare sight indeed at the minute. Four points to Lancaster. A 64-55 win for Lancaster in the men’s firsts basketball.

13.20

And a quote from the netball, seconds captain Jo Brayshaw: “I’m glad it was a competitive match which made the win even more satisfying. A margin of 9 goals was a credit to our team.”

13.17

2-1 to Lancaster at the men’s seconds football. Their number 8 dances round three players before smashing home past Owen.

13.16

It’s tense at the basketball. Great baskets by Mikalionas and Ekren bringing York back into it, 1 minute 40 seconds left, York are 4 behind.

13.15

Two more points after the netball seconds win 43-34. Tess Webb gets very excited: “YORK WIN! UYNC till I die”. Loving the enthusiasm. The netball firsts are up at 1.30

13.14

He’s changed it to 6.9

13.13

Will Light has returned from watching Derwent defeat Lonsdale. Using his Football Manager knowledge he’s given Farrell a 6.5 mark for his performance.

13.12

Goal York at the men’s seconds football. Tom Ragan wins a long ball, rounds the last defender and the keeper to tap home. 1-1.

13.11

UYRUFC captain Tom Weir on the whitewash: “All those morning fitness sessions paid off. We’d hoped and trained for our third whitewash in a row so it’s great to achieve it. It’s good to stay up there as York’s premier sports club”

13.09

York time-out called at the men’s basketball firsts. 9 points down with 4 minutes left on the clock. Still a glimmer of hope there.

13.04

Two more points for York after a 40-0 thumping in the men’s rugby sevens firsts. UYRUFC WHITEWASH.

13.03

Lancaster go 1-0 up in the men’s seconds football. A long free-kick was not dealt with and it landed at the feet of a Red Rose striker three yards out. Keeper Toby Owen had no chance.

13.02

Derwent won 3-0 over Lonsdale. Another point for the White Rose. Jake will be pleased.

13.01

33-0 at the rugby. Utter dominance apparently.

13.00

49-39 to Lancaster going into the final quarter of the men’s firsts basketball.

12.59

26-0 at the men’s rugby sevens firsts. Adebiyi does a Chris Ashton and swandives over.

12.58

Well…Blackout Crew’s ‘Put a donk on it’ is no Chris De Burgh…

12.57

York are 31-26 up at the end of the third quarter in the seconds netball. Ms Tess Webb has told me to Youtube ‘Put a donk on it’. Apparently it was the UYNC tour song. I shall have a look.

Cries of ‘Whitewash’ from the rugby sevens crowd. Indeed.

12.54

19-0 in the rugby sevens firsts. Gabriel Adibiyi with the points on this occasion.

12.54

Three minutes left in the third quarter and Lancaster lead the men’s basketball firsts by 42-36.

12.53

And Sammy Morgan has got us a quote from the men’s thirds football captain Angus O’Brien: “We came up against a good side and we just weren’t good enough but I can’t fault the effort of the lads”.

12.52

Wil Felgate has scored at the rugby sevens firsts – 14-0.

12.52

News from the basketball where there’s been a more even third quarter. A great drive by York’s Deniz Ekrem was followed by another good basket by Moran.

12.51

7-0 to York in the men’s rugby sevens firsts. Ryan Johnston going over for the try.

12.50

A bit more news from the trampolining where Kanya Param started York off in the intermediate section with 6.2, 6.3, 6.5, 6.3, 6.1. However a Lancaster girl hurt her ankle so trampolining is breaking for lunch while she is tended to.

12.49

Aaaahh, more searching uncovers that it also means ‘hurry up’ or ‘get a move on’. All makes sense now.

12.48

A quote from the sidelines at the netball seconds where Lancaster have been told to “put a donk on it”. I have literally no idea what it means, photo-whizz Philippa Grafton has searched it on Urban Dictionary and apparently it’s something do with a beat…

12.45

38-12 it has ended at the men’s rugby sevens seconds. If the men’s rugby sevens firsts can win, that will be an absolute whitewash for UYRUFC.

12.45

But the men’s football thirds has finished, 3-1 to Lancaster. Rare joy for the visitors.

12.43

Goal at the men’s thirds football. Sam Mellor scores after a nice lay-off from Ben Smith. 3-1 to Lancaster there.

12.42

38-7 to the men’s rugby sevens seconds, Rolph hat-trick.

12.38

And another! Ex-YUSU Presidential Candidate Aaron Rolph touches down for the men’s rugby sevens seconds. 24-7 to the White Rose now.

12.37

17-7 to the men’s rugby sevens seconds.

12.37

The office is rocking to the sound of TIGER FEET by MUD.. Tune.

12.36

18-17 to York at the end of the second quarter in the seconds netball.

12.35

The men’s football thirds are still striving but are coming up against a brick wall. James Offord seeing his shot saved on this occasion.

12.35

It’s 12-7 to York at half-time in the men’s rugby sevens seconds. The ref gave a penalty try to Lancaster after an alleged high tackle.

12.31

York are already 12-0 up in the men’s rugby sevens seconds. Pete Tarrega got the first try.

12.28

Trampolining is currently on a break between categories.

12.28

The men’s rugby sevens seconds is now underway. More points please.

12.27

Peter, who posted on the live blog without my knowledge – has texted to say York’s away kit in the rugby is their home kit turned inside out.

12.27

24-7 to York in the men’s rugby sevens thirds. One more point for York!

12.26

It’s 27-19 to Lancaster in the men’s first basketball. York have called a time-out to arrest their poor start.

12.21

And it’s all so easy for Derwent. David Kirk adds the third. Sort it out Farrell – get on the scoresheet.

12.21

Try for Lancaster in the men’s thirds rugby sevens, 19-7 to York now.

12.20

More updates from the trampolining. Rachel Bates – we have surnames now – scored 7.6, 7.6, 7.8, 7.8, 7.9, Heather Thomas scored 7.3, 7.1, 7.3, 7.3, 7.5 and Robbie van Manen did much better in his second routine, scoring 6.6, 6.8, 6.5, 6.9, 6.6. It looks like Rachel scored best overall but it’s not yet finalised.

12.18

News from Tess Webb at the seconds netball, it’s 10-7 to York. The White Rose displaying some great movement around the D.

12.17

19-0 to York in the men’s third rugby sevens. Five minutes to go.

12.17

Lancaster are 15-14 down in the men’s firsts basketball.

12.16

Half-time at the men’s rugby sevens thirds and it remains 12-0 to York.

12.16

Get Lowther down to the 22! Peter

12.15

2-0 to Lancaster in the men’s thirds football.

12.14

My favourite photographer ever, George Lowther, has just walked into the office. Supreme.

12.14

Second half underway at Derwent v Lonsdale, still 2-0 to the boys in blue and black.

12.13

It’s 1-0 to Lancaster in the men’s thirds football. A stunning overhead kick seals York’s fate.

12.11

It’s 12-0 to York in the men’s thirds rugby sevens.

12.11

2-0 to Derwent over Lonsdale now. A bit of brilliance from friend of Nouse Xander Brinkworth leads to an own-goal.

12.09

Angus O’Brien nearly scores for York in the men’s third football, cleared off the line however.

12.09

More trampolining scores. A disappointing score for York’s Robbie – again surname unknown – due to a stumble at the end: 5.2, 5.6, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.2. York’s Amy, let’s call her Amy Smith for now, 7.3, 6.8, 6.7, 7 and 7.1.

12.05

He then apologises that all the updates are about Lancaster, but that’s how it is apparently.

12.04

Quote from Sam Morgan: “James Offord on for Hamish Denham; disappointed, I wanted to see Denham end some careers”. He is joking, of course.

12.03

York’s Judo team have earned four more points for the Uni, winning both women’s categories and the under 81KG and the under 90KG. Lancaster took the under 73KG and the over 90KG.

11.59

So that’s 1-0 to Joe Boughtflower’s men. Ambro tells me Jake Farrell is on penalties…we’ll see.

11.58

Derwent goal. Jon Garness hits a half-volley from the edge of the area. ABSOLUTE GOAL MACHINE.

11.58

The game between Derwent College of York and Lonsdale College was late starting, but here are some pics featuring our Sports Editor Jake Farrell

Frost-face with some news from the Judo: “It’s the big boys now, York’s Over 90kg Seth Chen fights Julian Kossinov”

11.56

The trampolining has started well for York. A girl by the name of Rachel – whose surname we are yet to deduce – scoring really well 7.8, 7.7, 7.4, 7.5 and 7.4.

11.55

The half-time whistle has sounded at the men’s thirds football, with Lancaster leading 1-0

Better news in the under 81 match, where future captain Chris Lau is using the momentum of his larger opponent superbly and looks close to the point

11.49

Back to the judo, Lancaster have taken the match between Talbot and ‘s Matt Buckland

11.48

GOAL to Lancaster in the men’s thirds football after a fumble from York goalkeeper Jonny Sim. York 0 Lancaster 1

11.46

Judo is underway. In the women’s lightweights, Lancaster’s Emma Langton is ‘decimating’ York’s white belt Leyla Mccarthy. Lancs take the first point there. Over the hall at the men’s a great leg sweep brings down York’s Talbot, who is resisting the grapple

11.44

Meanwhile, it remains goalless in the College Football champion of champions match between Derwent and Lonsdale

11.43

Another hair-raising moment in the thirds football as Mellor is forced into a nervy defensive clearance. Angus O’Brien is given a stern talking to after a rash tackle. Lancaster goal looking the most likely outcome at the moment, according to Sam Morgan.

11.41

The York side for the judo is as follows: James Salbot (under 73kg), Chris Lau (under 81kg), Jonathan Coe (under 90kg) and Seth Chen (over 90kg). And for Lancaster, it’s Matt Buckland (under 73kg), Ollie Fitton (under 81kg), Sean Easby (under 90kg) and Julian Kossdinov (over 90kg)

11.36

We’re just reflecting on how brilliant it is that it was the women’s basketball firsts who claimed Roses glory for York. They’ve had a superb season and this will top things off very nicely.

11.28

Ben Smith has an attempt for the men’s football thirds but he can’t find the target. Still 0-0 in that game and in Derwent v Lonsdale.

11.28

Frosty has got a quote from the ref at the Judo: “I just want to see some judo today, I’m going to try and avoid giving penalties. It’s not the Olympics!”

11.25

Derwent v Lonsdale is now underway. Could Farrell earn the University a Roses point? Doubt it – luxury player. He’s like Jesper Blomqvist, only less reliable.

11.24

Meanwhile Sam Morgan is at the men’s football thirds, alongside photo-Don Peter Iveson, and they are both enjoying Hamish Denham’s physical style. A good save from Jonny Sim keeps the score at 0-0 there.

11.23

There’s no ref at the College Select game, being played between Derwent and Lonsdale College, Lancaster, which means a delay. Particularly frustrating because I want co-Sports Editor Jake Farrell back here sharpish. Interestingly, notes Will Light, Mr Farrell just received a blow to his particulars in the warm-up. A vulnerable area on any man; poor Jake.

11.20

The Judo is about to get going, the bouts will take place over four minute rounds. Frosty says he has done martial arts in his time so he knows the lingo, we shall see. Similarly photographer Philippa Grafton has turned up to watch the martial art that is Judo having taken a picture of a cute duckling on the way. Lovely.

11.18

Some quotes from the women’s basketball firsts captain Lydie Mariutto: “We didn’t know it was on us to win, feels awesome now we know! It was a real team effort”.

11.17

Andy Serkis, Richard Allinson, Jason Queally, James May, Alan Milburn – your boys took one hell of a beating, one hell of a beating.

11.16

Full time at the women’s netball thirds. Lancaster win by 24-21. One point for the Red Rose.

11.15

23-20 to Lancaster in the women’s netball thirds

11.12

It has ended 45-39 at the women’s basketball firsts, which means four points to York and they’ve hit the winning target.

11.11

11.08

44-37 to York at the women’s basketball firsts. There is one minute to go. One minute until we regain the Carter-James trophy.

11.00

36-28 to York at the women’s basketball firsts. York 6 minutes away from victory!

10.59

Messrs Asfahani and Scott are next to Ambro at the women’s basketball firsts. York so close to an overall victory…

10.59

End of the third quarter at the women’s netball thirds, York 15-19 Lancaster. Need a last quarter turnaround there.

10.58

The Judo team is getting kitted up and the mats are down. Getting underway there then.

10.54

It’s more even in the women’s netball thirds but York still trail 17-13. The women’s seconds and women’s firsts will be up later today. Exciting stuff.

10.53

Are Lancaster’s women’s basketballers going to spoil the party?

10.52

Talk of of the devil. It’s 33-26 to York there. Mariutto’s side have slipped a little while Lancaster have been strong. There’s only quarter remaining there.

10.51

David Ambrozejczyk is at the women’s basketball firsts and will most likely witness York winning Roses 2011. What an honour for the Newport man.

10.46

16-10 mid-way through the third quarter at the women’s netball.

10.46

We’ve overheard some Lancaster women this morning: “It was all those blond haired pricks”. More Lancaster in-fighting.

10.44

Second half underway at the women’s basketball firsts who are looking very likely to be the team to win Roses for York. Stefania Mataragka rolling with a superb jump-shot three pointer.

10.40

Just a reminder, courtesy of YUSU, about the total needed to win. ‘@yusu: Official Score: Total points up for grabs 281, making the winning number 141 #roses11′. Other media outlets are suggesting it’s 5 points needed to win but it’s 3.5 points to win.

10.37

13-9 to Lancaster at half-time in the netball.

10.33

25-13 to York at half-time in the women’s basketball firsts.

10.32

We’re chatting about Olympic tickets here. All a bit quiet.

10.27

10-8 to Lancaster. Five minutes into the second quarter of the women’s thirds netball.

Tom ‘Shippo’ Shipman has been down to the archery and they have told him that the scores won’t be released until 3 or 4 o’clock. Edge of the seat stuff…

10.22

And York are in control at the women’s basketball firsts. Lydie Mariutto drains a long two pointer. Time-out called, the White Rose are 18-6 up and heading for Roses victory.

10.19

It’s 7-5 to Lancaster after the first quarter in the netball. Kate Copson may come on despite suspected ankle trouble. Gladiatorial spirit.

10.17

14-6 to women’s basketball firsts. Kate Missenden standing out for the White Rose.

10.16

4-3 to Lancaster near the end of the first quarter in the women’s thirds netball.

10.12

10-6 up to York midway through the first quarter.

10.08

6-6 in the women’s basketball, time-out called by Lancaster. If York win this then it’s all over.

10.05

There’s a bit of drama at the netball – nothing compared to last night though – as thirds captain Kate Copson suffers an injury in the warm-up. Lancaster 2-0 up at the minute.

10.04

Last night was such a shame. The Nouse sports team all marched off to D-Bar and witnessed a sensational atmosphere. Had we won Roses last night it would have been a brilliant way to end the tournament. As it is the win will be slightly anti-climatic this morning.

10.02

In the women’s basketball it’s 2-2. Lydie Mariutto’s side have had a superb season, gaining promotion from their league, and will look to sign off with some Roses points.

10.00

I am all alone in the office. Sad. What cheers me up however is the brilliant performance of the York teams yesterday.

09.59

Already underway is the archery, the scores for which won’t be worked out for quite so time so it is unlikely they will be the points that give York the win, while the women’s basketball and netball thirds are both just getting started.

09.49

Good morning everybody and welcome to the final day of Roses 2011. What a few days it has been, culminating in a positively mental night at the darts. With 63 points on offer today there’s still a lot to play for but York need just 3.5 points to regain the Carter-James trophy.
