Notes

  Due to the atrocious snowfall both captains agreed to play halves of only 30 minutes each.
  The poor attendance was also due to the weather. Reports range from 85 to 300.
  William Clegg turned up 20 minutes late. The match started without him and England played with ten men until he arrived.
