Then you will be familiar with the annual boat race between Oxford and
Cambridge universities, at the start of which they toss a coin to decide
who will row from the 'Surrey station' and who from the 'Middlesex
station'. These counties still have cultural significance today.
Just because the sides are named after former counties doesn't mean
those counties still exist. The Isle of Ely doesn't exist as a current
administrative boundary any more either, but that doesn't stop several
organisations based in the area it used to cover having that phrase in
their name. Including, appropriately in this context, the Isle of Ely
Rowing Club :-)
