Claim: The varsity match between the 2 teams GKT and KCL that began in 2004 was named for Sir Ivison Macadam who was the founding president of the National Union of Students, and has been won 12 out of 16 times by GKT.
Evidence: The cup was first instituted in 2004 after an election pledge by the incoming President of the Students' Union, Michael Champion. The motivation behind the competition was not entirely focused on sports; Champion enjoyed large backing from the Health schools, and in a time where the political will of the College was to rebrand Guy's, King's and St. Thomas' (GKT) to KCLMS, Champion saw the event as an opportunity to enshrine GKT identity through the vehicle of a sporting event. The championship is named in honour of Sir Ivison Macadam, an alumnus of King's. Sir Ivison Stevenson Macadam KCVO Kt CBE CStJ FRSE FKC (18 July 1894 – 22 December 1974) was the first Director-General of the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), and the founding President of the National Union of Students. 2004 GKT 2005 GKT 2006 GKT 2007 GKT 2008 GKT 2009 GKT 2010 GKT 2012 GKT 2013 GKT 2015 GKT 2017 GKT (4-1 on penalties) 2019 GKT 2011 KCL 2014 KCL 2016 KCL 2018 KCL
