Not notable. British university sports teams for mainstream British sports are rarely notable even within their own institution, never mind in the real world. This team isn't one of the mere handful of exceptions to this rule. A quick google returns nothing beyond sites related to the team's rivals (the team doesn't appear to have it own site). Article is also unreferenced. Pit-yacker (talk) 13:56, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. It's very rare for a British university sports team to be notable, and like other university American football teams recently nominated, this one does not appear to be an exception to this rule. Pfainuk talk 18:14, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There's only a few notable uni teams in the United Kingdom. This isn't one of them. (Especially since a Google search only brings up their pages and those of their rivals.) DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 22:12, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
