1873–74 Scottish Districts Season
The 1873–74 Scottish Districts season is a record of all the rugby union matches for Scotland's district teams. It includes the Inter-City fixtures between Glasgow District and Edinburgh District. History The matches here remain 20 - a - side. These matches, with more players on the park, made it harder to score. In addition, scoring a try did not count for points. The try gave you an attempt to get a score by means of the conversion; if the conversion was missed then it did not benefit the try scoring team. It was only goals that mattered. The second inter-city match here is a case in point. Edinburgh scored a try but missed the conversion. Hence the match ended in a draw. Results Inter-City Edinburgh District: J. L. Patullo (Edinburgh Wanderers), W. Blackwood (back), Angus Buchanan (Royal HSFP) (quarter back), G. Couper (Warriston) (half back), A. Finlay and J.
