OUAFC 150th anniversary football matches

To mark the 150th anniversary of the 1874 FA Cup match  in which Charles Coleridge Mackarness scored a winning goal (see 'Photographs up to 1920 ' section on this site), a number of football matches were arranged by Oxford University. Christopher and Clare Mackarness, Christopher's cousin Sam Coleridge, and Francoise Witheridge were invited; though forced by weather conditions to miss the matches, they were able to attend the dinner afterwards.
