Pressing home their advantage
If you were asked to name the oldest club still playing that is affiliated to the Cambridgeshire FA, you would probably plump for Cambridge United or Cambridge City, but you would be wrong.Cambridge University Press FC are the oldest club as they were founded in 1893 - more than 10 years before their illustrious neighbours. Cambridge University Press were interestingly the first team to play at the Abbey Stadium when Cambridge United were still called Abbey United. This season, Cambridge University Press are leading the Kershaw Cambridge Football Association County Premier Division with 12 wins and 4 draws from 16 games. With Whittlesford United seven points adrift having played two more games, Cambridge United Press just need to, well, press on as promotion looks to be more or less booked.
Lady Knobhead was just passing me a croissant over breakfast when she burst out with laughter as I read out the line about Camb Univ Press having booked promotion. Yes it's a joke full of puerility but appealed to her Sunday morning humour and, may I say, brightened her up after a few too many ports last night. Of course when I was at Cambridge one of the Dons used to go on about Cambridge University Press FC. I can't say I really listened to him much - he was always full of hot air anyway. I am glad, Cynic, that you sent the young thug in the other thread packing. He clearly didn't go to Cambridge even though he seemed full of hot air.
