It was the first match of any importance ever played in Scotland under the Association rules, and attracted a very large number of spectators. The play throughout was brilliant in the extreme; and though the English team, which was much the heavier, had perhaps a little the best of the game. no decisive advantage was gained by either side, and the proceedings ended in a draw.The forward play of J.

Jeff had asked List Admin for permission to post these snippets of interest and some will be general topics - others with a Warwickshire link. I am happy for him to do so unless the MAJORITY of subscribers protest- OFF List . If you don't want to read them then delete the message. After all the List is very quiet these days and we need something to stir up some discussion or keep us reading. I have tried several times to begin topics which I hoped would be helpful and I am running out of ideas and energy. If the only messages we receive are lookup requests or surname interest posts then the List will become moribund. If anyone else has a topic they would like to see discussed then I am happy to listen to your ideas and act on them. I will even post the message or question on your behalf if you are shy like me. <grin> This is your List and you can contribute or not but if we all sit back doing nowt then it will become dead boring.
