History

Glasgow District beat Edinburgh District in the Inter-City match.[1]

The Glasgow Herald makes the mistake of assuming every Inter-City fixture was an annual fixture in its report; in concluding that the Inter-City Glasgow - Edinburgh match started in 1858.[1]

The East v West match was scheduled for February 1894.[1] However it was played, as normal, at the end of January.[2]

A joint Glasgow-Edinburgh side was selected for the first time. The team was to play a Rest Of Scotland side.[1]

It was noted that the weather was so bad for the South v Cumberland match that few spectators turned up; and the pitch was almost unplayable. In addition two South players were replaced, as the first team players of Gala and Melrose were not represented at all: Renwick, the reserve Gala half-back; and McGregor, the captain of Gala Thistle had to be called in.[3] These players evidently replaced Frater of Melrose and Dalgleish of Gala.

gollark: They were hit by the Rebels' brainwashing rays and converted to the Rebellion.
gollark: Well, I have more metals than that.
gollark: I thought it was two.
gollark: As I'm also on a sim-only plan, I'm paying them basically for an internet connection, and charging extra to use that on other stuff is crazy.
gollark: This is why I have a rooted phone. That sort of thing is ridiculous.
