On Saturday 12th April, two of the oldest football clubs in the country will compete for the Arthur Dunn Cup, first played for in 1903. The Old Carthusians (Old Boys of Charterhouse) will play the Old Foresters (Old Boys of Forest School, Snaresbrook) The game is between two "closed" amateur clubs which date back to the origins of the organised game; the Old Carthusians formed in 1875 and the Foresters in 1876. Both have successful histories and presently play in the Arthurian League. The Cup Final is due to kick off at 3pm at the Imperial College Sports' Ground, Udney Road, Teddington, London.
The OCs are hoping to achieve the double, having walked away with the Premier League already. Prior to this game at 1pm, is the Junior League Cup Final in which the Old Carthusians II meet the Old Marlburians. The OMs have made significant progress in the past few years; they reached the Arthur Dunn semi-final last season and are presently lying second in Division Two, sandwiched between the league leaders, the OCs III XI and the OC II XI in third place.
