IAMSUCCESS!


The three IAMLUFBRA events have gone really well with both Rugby games and Loughborough International Athletics all drawing a big crowd and a number of IAMLUFBRA tshirts!

Loughborough came from behind to beat Bath in the Real Varsity match in a sterling performance from the Loughborough side. Dante Mama came off the bench for the Leicestershire side to turn the match in their favour with a powerful display.

The second rugby event, the Dan James Memorial match, against England U20s drew another large crowd on the first team pitch. England came determined to make amends for their defeat last year and looked in impressive form with some fantastic handling.


Loughborough International Athletics was also a success in a sun-drenched athletics stadium on Sunday. With stars Jess Ennis, Marlon Devonish, Martyn Rooney, Lisa Dobrisky and Mark Lewis-Francis amongst the competitors it was always going to be a fantastic event.

MUL goes social...

With the Midlands Universities League (MUL) grand final drawing ever closer the league have taken the next step to further their reach the players and supporters in the league by setting up a Facebook and Twitter account. This is so that information on fixtures, results and league standings can reach the players and supporters quicker.


The MUL final is being held on Monday 10th May at Stadium:MK, home of the MK Dons, and here at 5or6 we wish both Loughborough and Nottingham the best of luck!

5or6 meet the Prime Minister!

During his election campaign Prime Minister Gordon Brown took some time to speak with 5or6 design consultancy Managing Director Peter Simmons whilst visiting Loughborough.

'Gordon was visiting to launch the Labour party's Sport Manifesto and it was great that he had time to speak.' Simmons added.

Voters go to the ballot boxes on Thursday to decide the new governing party, although a hung parliament looks the most likely outcome considering recent polls.
