EnglishWhat is CU Sparrows (cu-sparrows.net)?
Updated
CU Sparrows is the website of the Cambridge University Rugby Fives Club and of the Sparrows, the club's former members. It serves as the online home for the current club and its alumni network, and it publishes season information, officer contacts, and the dates and venues of the club's main annual fixtures.
Who the site is for
The site addresses two overlapping groups:
- Current club members — Cambridge University Rugby Fives Club players, including the teams that contest the Varsity Match.
- Former members (the Sparrows) — alumni who keep in touch with the club and take part in the Past versus Present fixture.
Rugby Fives is a handball sport played in a walled court; the club name and the site's content are specific to that sport at Cambridge, not to rugby football.
What the page actually provides
The homepage is a short noticeboard rather than a full club portal. According to the page, it lists:
| Item | Detail shown |
|---|---|
| Season | 2026–2027 |
| Men's Captain | James Milburn (Jesus) — [email protected] |
| Women's Captain | Katie Parry (Trinity Hall) — [email protected] |
| Secretary | Keshav Kedia (Caius) — [email protected] |
| Past versus Present 2027 | Saturday, 13 February 2027, at Cambridge University Sports Centre (New Portugal Place) and Pembroke College |
| Varsity Match 2027 | Saturday, 20 February 2027, at St Paul's School |
These are the concrete facts the page supports. If you want to contact the club about playing, alumni events, or the two fixtures above, the officer email addresses are the direct route given on the site.
What the site does not tell you
The page evidence contains no information on membership fees, subscriptions, trial or joining procedures, ticketing for the Varsity Match, or results and history beyond the club's identity. Nothing on the page indicates that access, membership, or events are free or open to the public, so treat those points as unknown until confirmed with a club officer.
Practical use
- If you are a Cambridge student interested in Rugby Fives, email the relevant captain (Men's or Women's) to ask about joining; the site itself does not describe a sign-up process.
- If you are a former member, the Secretary is the listed contact, and the Past versus Present date is the alumni fixture to note.
- If you want to watch the Varsity Match, the page gives only the date and venue (St Paul's School, 20 February 2027); check with the club for any attendance details.
In short, cu-sparrows.net is a small, season-focused site confirming the club's identity, its 2026–27 officers, and two 2027 fixture dates — useful for contact and scheduling, but not a source for membership terms or pricing.
