Formed in 1872, the club was a giant of the 1870s, winning the FA Cup 2-0 against Royal Engineers in 1874 and finishing the competition as runners up in 1873, 1877 and 1880, the last year they competed.[1]
The famous club Pegasus of the 1950s was formed from the Oxford and Cambridge University teams.
