Ben Barlow (History Tripos, BA 2025 – pictured first) and Ben Cook (MPhil in Medical Science, Surgery – pictured second) will both represent the Rugby Men’s Blues this season.
Ben Barlow shared:
“It’s been a privilege to play for the Cambridge University Rugby Union Football Club over the last couple of terms. It’s a supportive environment that has contributed hugely to my enjoyment whilst at Cambridge. I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent the club, university, and St Edmund’s on Saturday.”
Ben Cook added:
“Playing the Varsity was my major ambition for this year so it’s a huge honour to be selected to start. It’s been challenging to balance rugby with my MPhil in Surgery and work as a doctor but I’ve loved my time with curufc and can’t wait for Saturday!”
Catch both Bens in action at the Varsity Match against Oxford University Rugby Football Club on Saturday 28 February 2026 at StoneX Stadium (3pm kick-off).
Wishing them and the whole team the very best of luck!
Still need to book tickets?
