| Edinburgh retain Varsity title
|

Sport
|
The UNIVERSITY of Edinburgh clinically disposed of Heriot-Watt in this year's Varsity to win the competition for the fourth year running. Although Edinburgh suffered defeats in the basketball, curling, rowing and men's football, their triumphs elsewhere were enough to seal victory.

| Where next for British tennis?

Sport

Given the prestige associated with Great Britain and tennis, the scenario currently facing the national team is utterly unacceptable. Britain boast a top four world ranked player in Andy Murray and host perhaps the most prestigious tournament in world tennis in Wimbledon. Their recent 3-2 defeat to the minnows of Lithuania is dumbfounding to many.

| Formula One-dimensional?
|
|
Sport
|
THE OPENING grand prix in any Formula 1 season is always going to be eagerly anticipated, but Bahrain was going to be special this year. Sadly, things didn’t quite go off with the bang we all expected. Sebastian Vettel looked set to kick-start his championship campaign with a win from pole position until an engine problem on lap 33, when he was left to drag his compromised Red Bull car to an impressive fourth place. Alonso, who had qualified third but passed his teammate into the first corner to take second, eased his way past Vettel as his sparkplug failure took effect, and went on to control the remaining laps of the race without trouble. Massa and Hamilton soon followed suit to pass Vettel, taking full advantage of the damaged Red Bull’s lack of speed on the long straights.

| Creepy Auld Reekie edge roller derby
|
|
Sport
|
A few hundred fans of high-octane spills and booty-bumping chicks were treated to a see-saw game at Meadowbank between two sets of 14 skaters in a flat-track roller derby. It's a sport which, judging by the variation of people young and less young in the crowd, could sway thousands in the coming months.
