Although the Australian University Games don’t begin until the middle of September, Macquarie is beginning to recruit participants now. 

In 2005 Macquarie was placed fifth overall.  Last year however, they improved to fourth and came first in the East Coast Challenge. 

This year’s goal is for third or better and to be the best university from New South Wales.

The Games will cater to athletes from many sports.  There will be both team and individual events to become involved in. 

The Games will have everything from more predominant sports like Aussie Rules Football or Rugby League and Union to more unusual sports like Bowling or Fencing. 

A complete list of events can be found at the Macquarie University Sport and Recreation (MUSR) website.


There are several football teams to join
