After the international break Old Carthusians had a thumping 4-0 away win against the Old Harrovians. They remain runaway leaders of the Arthurian League.
Further research has revealed that in the 1887 F.A. Cup sixth round tie against Preston North End, they played a formation of 1-2-2-6. Perhaps a pointer to Bobby for the remaining games of the season.
They unfortunately lost 2-1, due the superior fitness of the professionals. Rumours abound, that in frustration at losing,they started to deliberately foul opposing players, an unheard of state of affairs at the time and possibly a white feather offence.
On the wing that day was C. Aubrey Smith who later became an England Test player and a Hollywood film star ( Dr.Jekyll and Mr Hyde and the Prisoner of Zenda, amongst many others)
He founded the Hollywood cricket club, with David Niven, Ronald Colman and Rex Harrison among the players.
He was once fielding and dropped a difficult catch. He ordered his butler to bring his glasses, which he did on a silver platter.
The next ball, he dropped a sitter at slip, and remarked, 'Damned fool brought my reading glasses.'
No wonder we won two world wars.

Taking a break from their relentless title charge The Old Carthusians triumphed to a hard won 1-0 away win against Landing Old Boys in the Arthur Dunn Cup. They remain favourites to retain the cup.
The Arthur Dunn Cup was originated 1901 in response to the nasty Northern Clubs' dominance, and their gall to pay their players.

Old Carthusians retained the title of the Arthurian League for the third successive year, losing only once. They also triumphed in the final of the Arthur Dunn Cup, the second oldest cup competition in the world.
To the delight of all, Old Harrovians were relegated ; Old Chigwellians take their place next season.
