I am not suggesting that St Andrews sport finds itself in the same position as the North American colonies in 1774, nor that this piece rivals the prose of the First Continental Congress.

The women’s lacrosse team secured the Scottish 1A league title with a hard-fought 16-11 victory over Glasgow under the lights.

Spring may be in the air in St Andrews, but for fourth years Flore Bindel and Rosie Ruane, winter adventures have only just begun.
