The Rec Podcast

We take a look back at some of the biggest upsets of Rec history, including a famous victory over BUCS-competing Shexeter in 2015 to maintain an unbeaten streak, and doing the double over the 5s in 2018/19 to unprecedentedly hold onto the bragging rights. Featuring this week is a man who played in all three of those matches, Jamie Richardson - also a possible shout for sixes all-time top scorer. Additionally, we were joined by "The Asian Sir Alex", captain from 2015/16 James Deru and also this year's captain Alister Fursdon, who famously put his body on the line vs the Fives last season.
