Match Report |
|
|
Disagreeable weather; Rain before kick-off.
The
winners played well throughout, although deprived of the services of
J.B. Weir, one of their best backs, whose place was taken by
J.B. Ferguson.
Their
passing was extremely good, and it would have been better if some of
their opponents had pursued the same tactics, instead of selfishly
keeping the ball until it was too late.
Several
of the English forwards were indefatigable in their efforts, but at
times a certain amount of looseness was noticeable in the ranks of the
home team, especially amongst the backs… -
Bell’s Life in London and
Sporting Chronicle – Sunday 4th March, 1877
Saturday proved most wretched in point of weather for the purpose of
outdoor sports. Yet this did not deter about four thousand spectators,
amongst whom was the Marquis of Lorne, from being present at The Oval, Kennington to witness the annual match between England and Scotland.
