This weekend sees the start of the BUCS Playoffs. After 13
weeks of action – not including the festive period break – the top 32 teams
from around the UK have booked themselves a postseason place. Division 2 teams
have earned themselves a break this weeks, also due to the fact they have one
less game to play than the rest. So they join the playoff picture next week.
This weekend sees the Premier and Division 1 take centre
stage and there are some cracking matches amongst the quarter finals. Stirling
are the current National Champions and will host Bath as they look to retain their
title. Birmingham are still the biggest threat to taking the crown, and they
host Loughborough in the opening round, Kingston have had an impressive debut
season at the top table of the Uni game, and face dark horses Durham, and
lastly Derby travel to Herts trying to spring a surprise.

Glasgow have been the pick of the Division 1 North this year
and play host to Sheffield looking to avoid the banana skin slip-up. Warwick,
UCLan and NTU also have home games in the North side of the draw. Down South
the pick of the games is arguably Kent’s visit to Surrey, although Sussex will
be hoping to cause an upset when they go to Cardiff.
