ACADEMICALS 2
This game (on 8 April 1882) was played on the ground
of the Seafield Clutha Park, Ardrossan.
The strangers won the toss and, selecting to play with the wind in their
favour, after ten minutes play scored goal number one which was supplemented by
a second a few minutes later. Before
half-time was called, the Clydesdale registered their first goal.
In the second part, the home team scored another two goals.
The match thus terminated in favour of the Clydesdale by three goals to
two.
