Intra-mural Sport at Stirling University

Enjoying Friendly Competition

Intra-mural sport offers opportunities for students and staff to participate in friendly competition in a variety of sports. It is a chance to exercise, relax and enjoy sport at regular intervals, requiring only a small time commitment. During the year competitions are offered in the forms of leagues, individual events and one-off competitions.

Football Leagues

Leagues are open to single or mixed sex teams. League games are played regularly at the same time each week. Days and times are listed in the Intra-mural Football Leagues leaflet. Each team plays all other teams in their league. Prizes are awarded to the winners of each league. Matches last 30 minutes and no more than two University 1st 11 players are allowed in each team. Teams are made up from any six players. You may wish to enter a flat team, house team, department team or a team made up from a group of friends. All results and fixtures can be obtained by checking the intramural notice board or click here for Intra-mural League Fixtures and Results. This semester's tournament will take place over 6 weeks, from week commencing Monday 8th March 2010. For further information about the intra-mural leagues please contact Kerry MacPhee on kerry.macphee@stir.ac.uk or click here to view the brochure.

Multisports Leagues

The multisports league is a great way to keep active and try new things.  Each week, you play a different event (Football, hockey, rounders, frisbee and touch rugby).  Who you play against is the luck of the draw.  Please check back here for further details of dates and entry requirements.

Golf Competitions

Five golf championships are held throughout the year. These are held at high quality golf courses throughout Scotland. Transport to and from events is provided. Students, staff and scholarship players have a unique opportunity to compete together. Throughout the five events, points are awarded to players with the best gross and net scores. Once all the events have been completed, the players with the highest collective points total win the respective Order of Merits. To view and download the entry forms please click on the Event form.

One-Day Events

A number of fun competitive events are organised for a number of sports. American tennis tournaments, badminton fun days and basketball one-day events have been offered in the past. To find out what is on offer during the year, watch the notice board in the sports centre for details.

Dumyat Hill Race

This race was created by a member of the Psychology Department. A £1 bet was placed that no member of the University could, without mechanical assistance, do the return trip from the Gannochy Pavilion bar to Dumyat in less than an hour. On Graduation Day 1971 the £1 bet was lost by 3 minutes. The first 'official' race was held in 1972. The event is now held annually on the first or second Wednesday evening in May. It attracts over 150 runners. The event is integrated into the Scottish Hill Running Calendar and it attracts professional runners and a number of students and staff. For more details watch the notice board in the sport centre for details.

The event on Wednesday 6 May 2009 attracted 258 entries. Click here for the Dumyat Hill Race Result and Pictures of the race!

This year's event will be held on Wednesday 5 May 2010.
