Portsmouth v. Royal Artillery

The Sportsman (22 may 1884, p. 4)

Played at Portsmouth yesterday, the latter proving victorious. The feature of interest was the no-balling of Lovell, under Lord Harris's amendment. He left the field, but the Portsmouth club generously allowed another man to take his place. Score:
