Hello everyone, I am looking for any information on what I belive to be an early football club in the Oxford area, I have players medals or members medals ? for the name of C. K . Martin, from 1906. 1908/9. 1909/10. the shield on front of medal is of a bull, that I think may be an Oxford emblem. Information from Wendy Archer is that, CLAUDE KENNETH MARTIN, born in the June quarter of 1890 was living with his parents and siblings at Edith road Oxford, in the 1901 cencus. with thanks. Mr B.Lampard. Dymchurch. Kent.

While 1906 is in the 20th century, a search of the 19th Century newspapers database (searching in Jackson's Oxford Journal, from 1890 to 1900, for the words Oxford, City, Football, and Association) shows that the heading "Oxford City Junior Football Association" was frequently used as a heading for articles, at least one of which, on March 26 1892, refers to the award of medals to the winners of the Association's Challenge Cup. I would think this is a fair confirmation of Malcolm's "Friday guess". Best wishes Paul -- Paul Betteridge, Leafield, Oxfordshire pbetteridge@pobox.com
