Staff and students at the School of computer Science and engineering playing rounders

Staff and Students Beat the Heat with Energetic Post-Exam sports social

After a long Semester of studying, staff and students at the School of Computer Science and Engineering came together for a game of rounders and a quick football kick-about. The event provided a perfect opportunity for participants to blow off steam and enjoy some friendly competition amidst the bright sun. 

The game of rounders brought together a wide range of abilities

The initial game of rounders brought together a wide range of abilities in hitting and running. Divided into two teams, one with mostly electronic engineers and the other computer scientists, the players took to the field to enjoy the game. Talking of the game, Professor Jonathan Roberts (Professor in Visualisation) said “We were fortunate to have a glorious sunny day, which allowed us to fully embrace the experience of chasing the ball and running across the field. As for the outcome, it resulted in a draw. Both teams successfully scoring rounders and executing remarkable catches. We had so much fun together. I have not laughed so much in ages.” 

Following the captivating rounders match, the participants transitioned seamlessly into playing football. Speaking about the event, Dr Daniel Roberts (Director of Student Experience for the school) said

It's fantastic to see everyone coming together to celebrate the end of the exam period

Daniel went on to say,

The dedication and willingness of people to try their best was truly inspiring. The sheer enjoyment we derived from the experience is a testament to the remarkable spirit that thrives within our university community.

As a student, participating in this event allowed me to connect with fellow students and faculty members on a whole new level. It was refreshing to see everyone stepping out of their academic roles and simply enjoying the moment. I had an incredible and unforgettable time.
