VARSITY MATCH 2014 Fulham FC

On a day when the Cambridge University boat crew caught a crab, the CUAFC goalkeeper looked at times as though he couldn't catch a cold. Playing the 130th Varsity match at Craven Cottage, Cambridge started brightly and looked a class above their dark blue opposition, but by the final minutes of the second half, it was Oxford who really should have been ahead, following some howling aerial stunts by the Cambridge keeper. Oxford also often played the ball into the penalty area with clever skills but they could not finish. It was as the game came to an end that the seemingly hapless light blue guardian made an outstanding point blank block to keep his team in the match. So well done to him.
This tense match finally resulted in penalties which Cambridge scored with confidence and Oxford didn't. Tom Hobkinson (Old Carthusian) played for OUAFC at right back and gave a solid account of himself.

Fulham legend, Johnny Haynes, looked on politely.
