History
Glasgow won the Inter-City by a try to nil. The ''Greenock Telegraph and Clyde Shipping Gazette'' of 6 December 1886 reporting the match: "Played at Anniesland, Glasgow, on Saturday, in good weather. At the start of the game Edinburgh had the best of it for about fifteen minutes, but thereafter they had to act on the defensive. Although at half-time no scoring had taken place the second period was much in favour of Glasgow, for whom Kerr gained a try twenty minutes from time, which was not improved on." The East v West fixture was marred by a leg break to Asher, the East District quarter-back.Results
