An experimental law is introduced, that empowers the referee to award a goal
in cases where, in his opinion, a goal has been prevented from a deliberate
handball by the defending team. It lasts one season only, and it is
unknown as to whether it resulted in any England goals in 1881-82. |

team notes: |
The line-up included
Samuel Johnston, who at the age of 15 years and 154 days became the
youngest international debutant.
Some outdated sources list
David McCaw as starting, but he started the trial match the previous week.
John Waring (Cliftonville) was named in the original line-up, but
following a 'misdemeanor', his place went to Buckle. |

Match Report |
 Weather
being bitterly cold, a gale blowing, accompanied at times by showers
of rain and hail.
On Saturday last
for the first time an Irish Association team met a picked eleven of
English players, at Bloomfield, Belfast. England won the toss and chose
to play with a strong wind at their backs. Ireland set the ball rolling:
it was soon returned and in a few minutes England forced the ball
underneath the crossbar. In the result, England were pronounced
victorious by 13 goals to none. -
