Match Report
|
|
|
Very wet and muddy;
Both
teams played with great determination and were almost on an equality,
the Englishmen having but a trifle the best of it, and when time was
called there was little to choose, neither side being able to make any
further score.
The
Scotchmen were good runners and they had a very excellent goalkeeper,
whose office was by no means a sinecure. The Englishmen all played well
but, owing to the greasy nature of the turf, dribbling, which is their
speciality, was almost out of the question… -
