150 YEARS OF CARTHUSIAN FOOTBALL
Tomorrow at Charterhouse School in Godalming, the school 1st XI plays the Old Carthusian Football Club, the old boys. This match was first played in February 1864, when the game was played partly on Green (the field sited near the origin school in Charterhouse Square, London) and partly in Cloisters, where the game was played along a narrow stone built corridor. Since then the annual contest has been played continuously apart from the war years. OCFC is renowned for winning both the FA Cup and the FA Amateur Cup, a feat only achieved by the same named club Wimbledon FC. The school teammhas appeared in five Independent School FA Cup finals and won the trophy twice. Kick off at the School is 2.15. It is NON-LEAGUE DAY tomorrow so why not go along and watch football in its purest form?
