The biggest sporting event at Cardiff University has got to be Varsity. No contest. Throughout the day sports teams ranging from football to badminton to rowing all compete against rival university Swansea in order to be crowned champions! The day of events comes to a close with a rugby match (of course, it's Wales after all) at the Millennium Stadium. This is my 3rd Varsity and previous years have both been amazing. A full day of drinking, socialising and watching sports events, combined with a whole host of hilarious banter, makes for one amazing and memorable day!
Even if you're not a huge rugby fan, the game is not to be missed! Purely for the atmosphere and friendly-come-offensive chants between the two sets of supporters! You might even be surprised and get into the spirit of the game itself!
Finally, after 2 years of watching Cardiff lose, we won in style! My last Varsity saw Cardiff smash Swansea 33-13! Here's a bit of info on the game: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/articles/varsity-triumph-for-cardiff-8736.html

Some of my fave chants of the night:
'We are your Capitaaaaaal, we are your Capitaaaaaal!'
'Cardiff was your first choice, na na na na!'
'Your sister is your mother, your father is your brother, you all fuck each other, the Swansea family!'
And on that note, I'm off x
