On this day in 1975 we visited London University for our fifth match of the season. Our opponents suffered from a familiar problem with respect to student teams: lack of organisation. They only had 11 named players, two of whom failed to turn up, so we were three points ahead right from the start. Although we were unable to match our Hendon result, we still had no problem scoring a comfortable win.
