Callum, a Level 1 Sport student at Lincoln College, said: “As a team, we’re here to win today. I’m feeling quite confident going into it because I’ve been playing for the team for two years now, so I’m going to take my experience and confidence into the match.”

Ben, a Skills for Sport student at Lincoln College, said: “The motivation around our college team is good.”

Alice Ferrier, Supported Education Lecturer, said: “It’s great to have the new team on the pitch today; they’ve got great energy this year.
