The Rugby 1sts XV battled it out at Huntington Stadium, the home of the York City Knights. In the 2012 tournament a stadium was used for the first time. York would win the tournament by 101-97 with a 3-1 win in the Soccer securing the win. In 1989, Roses celebrated it's silver Jubilee with Rugby, Rowing, A boat race and Tug of War some of the 30 sports. The importance of non-sporting social activities at the event has also been increased, with organised events on the Friday and Saturday evenings. Live coverage of the event is broadcast every year by a joint collaboration between the two university's student television stations YSTV and LA1:TV, and its two student radio stations, Bailrigg FM and University Radio York. The event has continued to increase in size since its founding, with new events added every year (2004 had 37 different sports). The winner of each of the sports received two points, and the losing vice-chancellor presented a trophy to the winning university. The students amplified this idea and held a 5-day event with a variety of sports: rowing, table tennis, relay race, mixed field hockey, and tug of war. The first event happened on after the Vice-Chancellor of York, Lord James of Rusholme, suggested a boat race between the two universities. The competition is held every year during the early May bank holiday weekend, alternating its venue between the two universities. The counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire are traditionally symbolized by the red and the white rose respectively, although some York teams today play in gold and black kits. It takes its name from the 15th-century civil war, the Wars of the Roses, between the House of Lancaster and the House of York. It is organised by their respective Students' Unions, YUSU and LUSU. The Roses Tournament is an annual sports competition between Lancaster University and the University of York in England, often described as the largest inter-university sports tournament in Europe.
