Inaugural Cameron Cup 1863 Rules Football Match

Inspired by teaching a course on the global history of association football (aka soccer) from its 'invention' by the English Football Association in 1863, Dr Julius Ruiz decided to mark the end of teaching by organising a match according to the original 1863 rules. 

Students from the course will be playing – the two sides are Newton Leith (Jono Gray, Captain) and Lister City (Oscar Silver, Captain) – although there will be no official team strips, just dress appropriate to a muddy game of football. Top hats optional.
