Comments[edit]

Generally a well written article, just have a few minor points:

Lead

"Oxford has also previously won the tournament" – seems to be in the wrong tense

Route to the final

"replay" – could be wikilinked
"Wanderers beat the other of the great universities, Cambridge University 1–0" – needs another comma after University

Summary

In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the stadium should be named as it is the first mention of it in the section
"giving the university team the lead" – in previous mentions, "university" has been capitalised
"the cup holders held" – "holders" and then "held" is a bit repetitive

External links

If the match report is "inaccurate", there doesn't seem to be much point linking to it

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Also, I have added this review to my watchlist. Thanks, -- Big Dom 20:10, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
