Remnants vs. Strand Old Codgers

July 29, 1981
Parker's Piece

Strand Old Codgers (194/8)
defeated
Remnants (175 all out)
by 19 runs.

On the day of the Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana Remnants and the Strand Old Codgers decided not to hunker around their TV sets all day, but rather to head out onto Parker's Piece for an all-day cricket game.

History doesn't record what became of the Codgers, but Remnants turned into a Cambridge institution that not only out-lasted Charles and Diana's marriage but Diana herself.
