THIS is a picture of the jubilant shove-ha’penny team from the Bakers Arms in Jericho, Oxford, who, 25 years ago, won a crop of awards.
In the 1988-9 season, they won the League One title, the Warmington Cup, the Clapton Cup and the Mixed Pairs (John and Jan Langsbury) and were runners-up in the Men’s Pairs (Vic Middleton and Mick Carr).
