The Anniversary Game, Team Bath

The Anniversary Game, sponsored by Colour Studios, is returning to The Rec this October – and there will be an added derby-day edge to the annual city-centre celebration of student sport at the University of Bath.

Hartpury are the opposition for the University men’s 1^st XV providing a classic Bath v Gloucester rugby rivalry for what is always a highlight of the student year.

The past two Anniversary Games at the iconic home of Bath Rugby have seen crowds of more than 6,000 fans roar the hosts to memorable victories, over Durham and Cardiff Met respectively, and – with free tickets available – organisers at The SU Bath are expecting another big turnout. 

The Anniversary Game is staged annually to mark the University of Bath being granted its Royal Charter on 25th October 1966.
