Cardiff retained the Varsity Shield in a thrilling and closely fought day of sporting events hosted by Swansea University yesterday.

The visitors won 23 out of the 35 events, including the showpiece men’s rugby. Cardiff will be taking home the Varsity Cup for the first time since 2012, after a hard fought match which ended in a 27-22 score line.

Swansea improved their overall performance considerably, after only winning five events last year.
