The Just Play Essex Cup is where 100s of students of all abilities from all of our campuses compete for the glory and the Essex Cup. It's open to everyone, including staff and alumni. 

The first competition took place in 2014, with Colchester and Southend battling it out, and Southend winning. In 2015 Loughton joined forces with Southend and successfully defended their win against Colchester. Then in 2016 campuses decided to split again, with Loughton taking the win home. Finally in 2017 all campuses competed against each other with Southend winning and taking the cup back.

This year it’s Colchester vs. Loughton vs. Southend. Will Southend be able to defend their title? Who’ll win? Sign up to play for your campus below.
