Preparing for the Oxford Derby

This Saturday the students of Blackfriars will be playing the Oxford University Catholic Chaplaincy. With local bragging rights at stake, both teams have been preparing hard for what should be a fiery and keenly fought local derby. Oxford has been awash with gossip of the Chaplaincy's line-up but the Friars seem unconcerned with such tittle-tattle and, as the video below shows, are looking on fine-form.

  5. I am going to have to add an invocation to the Litanies :

    'Ut inimicos Ordinis Praedicatorum humiliare digneris : Te Rogamus, audi nos.' !

    (And I trust that super-sub fr Ursus is training up well ?)

  7. I've been warned that I must root for the friars or Br David will weep into his dress. Beware the lacrimae of the Dominicans.
