Athletic Union
The Athletic Union is separate to the Leeds Met Students' Union but maintains historically close links. Leeds Met regularly features well in the fixtures of university sports in the UK. They did lose the Varsity Rugby Union 2009 finale to Leeds University by 26-7, however the team put out by Leeds Met was the second team, due to the first teams commitment to a BUCS match. Varsity fixtures between the two universities prove to be highly popular and competitive each year.
