The players will have access to facilities including a floodlit World 22 specification 3G rubber crumb pitch and grass pitches, strength and conditioning facilities, an eight-lane 25m swimming pool and accommodation.
The university is also hoping to collaborate with partners to ensure the event has a lasting impact by encouraging staff and students to get involved in sports volunteering or through the development of coaching skills.
Suzanne Glavin, head of sport and physical activity, said: “The university is proud to be
4 PC February/March 2020
