On Saturday 26 May the OCFC completed their greatest season since the FA Cup winning year of 1881!
Five trophies were won. The 1st XI completed the Double, winning the Arthur Dunn Cup 1-0 in the Final against Old Brentwoods and finishing the League season with a record points total, having won 16 out of 18 games. It is the Club's second Double in three seasons: that is unprecedented. The Club has now won the Arthur Dunn Cup 21 times; no other Club comes close to that figure.
The 2nd XI and 3rd XI also won their respective Leagues, with the 2nd XI winning the reserve team League for the first time since 1987. It is the first time the Club has seen all three regular sides win their divisions in the same season.
Finally, the Veterans XI won the Derrick Moore Cup and have now won this competition a record five times.
Chairman Nick Leale says, "this was a truly remarkable season the like of which we have not seen before. As always it is not just about the incredible quality of the footballers produced by Malcolm Bailey and others at the school but also brilliant organisation on the part of Captains Henry Nash, Will Frost, James Kibbey and Nick Waters – and an ongoing, unerring will to win generated by pulling on the famous pick, magenta and blue shirt. The Club's thanks go out to all those who have lent their support this season and will do everything to live up to the expected heady expectations of season 08/09!"
