Hello All,
My first post so it could be in the wrong forum ! But here goes anyway.
Have been turning out some stuff left me by my late father.
I have found a silver trophy engraved "Oakfield CC Presented to John Ody for the first recorded century for the Club - 1935".
Now the only "Oakfield CC" I can find is in Warwickshire which is certainly NOT his old club.
He lived in west London pre-war and could have played anywhere within a reasonable travelling distance of there.
Does anyone know of such a club ? Of course it may well not exist any more or has been merged with another club.
I had in mind perhaps donating the trophy to Oakfield for their 'trophy room' or perhaps re- presenting to a current century maker.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike Ody
