Varsity and Eton-Harrow — The Schoolboy and University Cricket of the 1840s
Eton vs Harrow / Oxford vs Cambridge
1843-07-08
Through the 1840s the Eton-Harrow public school match and the Oxford-Cambridge varsity match were the two fixed amateur fixtures at Lord's each summer. They were the social events of the London season as much as cricket matches, drawing crowds of well-dressed spectators in carriages around the boundary; their amateur ethos was the moral counterweight to the professional cricket of the AEE.
