OW Football 150th Anniversary

The Old Wykehamist Football Club is 150 years old this year.  To mark the occasion, two OW teams visited Winchester on Sunday 5 October to take on Soccer XI and the 2nd XI.  The Football Association has presented the OWFC with a plaque to mark their sesquicentennial and it will soon be displayed in Hunter Tent.

The Maclure Pot was the prize at stake between Soccer XI and the OW 1st team.  The second teams were playing for honour and the love of the game.  Both matches were hard fought with some extra rivalry resulting from a strong turn out among the 2025 leavers.  In the end the OWs proved just too strong for the home sides, and they retained Maclure Pot with a 2-1 victory. 

Many thanks to Lekan Olagunju (F, 2017-19) who organised the OWs.
