2021-2022 Reports Amazons The women’s sports society at Jesus College, The Amazons, has celebrated huge success across the board in terms of University sport, College sport and even in May Bumps (pictured below)! This year’s achievements include Blues in hockey, netball, rowing, football, skiing and sailing, and many other members competing to University colours level and across multiple College sports. Amazons have led College teams to impressive victories, with women’s football taking both league and Cuppers victory, and ladies netball and mixed hockey both winning their Cuppers. In January, we held the Amazons and Rhadegunds Dinner to celebrate the sporting achievements of both societies, which was a great opportunity for everyone to get to know each other across the years in a way that wasn’t possible during the pandemic. A particular highlight came at the end of the year with an Amazons boat being entered into May Bumps. After completing the minimum number of training sessions required amid hectic exam and revision schedules, the Amazons took to the Cam in the newly repaired Muriel and achieved the following results: bumped, row-over, bump, double bump. After a very impressive, yet tiring, post-Hawks-event double bump on the final day, the Amazons finished a successful Bumps campaign two positions up and were promoted to Division 4. This capped a very fun year for the Amazons and we can’t wait to hold even more events (including for alumnae!) next year. Millie Quayle
