RANGERS (NEWCASTLE) v MIDDLESBROUGH (ASSOCIATION).
This return match was played on the ground of the former on Saturday, and for
the first time in Association annals a Newcastle team beat one from Teesside. Ewbank,
the Middlesbrough captain, and O. Cochrane could not get away with the team, and,
to add to this misfortune, Bastard hurt his knee after playing a quarter of an hour,
and had to be assisted off the field. The back play of the Tynesiders was remarkably
good, and they secured the victory by two goals to one. Teams :-- Rangers-- Douglass,
goal; Lockhead and White, backs; Hall, Michelson, and Campbell, half-backs; Hetherington,
Crawford, Simms (capt), Brown, and Bain, Forwards. Middlesbrough -- Shearer, goal,
Bastard and Ransford, backs; Booth (capt.), Beckton, and Peel, half-backs; Dales,
Pickstock, Pringle, Mattison, and Thompson, forwards.

SHEFFIELD ALBION v MIDDLESBROUGH
This important match was played on the Cricket Field, Middlesbrough on Saturday,
before a large cluster of spectators among whom we noticed the president of the club,
Col. Sadler, Mrs Sadler, Miss Feeley, Misses Cochrane, Mr Wayman Dixon, &c. &c. It
may be mentioned that the club has had the field of play enclosed with wire rope,
and footboards laid on the grass, so that the spectators can witness the game with
comfort. Great interest was taken in the match, for although the home team had never
won a match against a Sheffield team it was expected they would make a bold bid for
victory on this occasion, a supposition borne out by after events. At 3.15 the Teessiders
commenced with a determined attack on their opponents, but the strong back defence
kept them a safe distance from the goal, and after a few minutes had passed, Wilson
broke through the attack and sped towards the Middlesbrough goal, but coming in contact
with Cochrane he was fain to do a retrograde movement to his own lines. Meanwhile
Cochrane had placed the ball in front of the goal, from whence Dale tried to head
it through, an endeavour to score prevented by Gibson, the goalkeeper, but immediately
after the goal was captured by Booth with a long shot. (No. 1 goal.) Incited by
this reverse the Sheffielders made a powerful rush on the foe, and despite the good
defence of Booth, Cochrane, and Peel, they at last crowded on the home goal. Cawley
made an effort to score, but the ball struck the post and went by. For some time
the play continued in the centre, neither side being able to break through the first
line of defence. At length the fine passing of Dales and Pickstock on the left wing
found out a vulnerable place, and in a trice they were on the goal; the shot, however,
only resulted in a bye. Led on by Cawley and Ambler, the visitors revealed a new
development, only to be nonplussed by Ransford. For a considerable time after this
the Blades seemed all to pieces with the exception of Housley and Shippam, by whose
exertions the goal was often saved. In quick succession Thompson, Booth, and dales
made shots, which, however, failed to secure the desired result, the goal-keeper
on one occasion playing the ball out with his hands. The ball was now gradually worked
into Middlesbrough territory, but Wilson made only an erratic shot. Pickstock, amid
the plaudits of the spectators, dribbled down the field of play in fine form and
sent the ball to the goal; it was played, however, by Housley at the expense of a
corner kick. The Sheffielders “lined up” in front of goal and averted immediate danger,
but the ball going outside the throng was sent over their heads by Cochrane; the
goal-keeper (Gibson) stayed its progress, but while falling to the ground Pringle
punched it through with his knee. (No. 2 goal.) After the ball was played off a great
scrimmage was worked out in front of the home goal; it might at any moment have been
captured, and after some excitement Thompson resolutely pushed his way out, keeping
the ball in front, and the golden opportunity was lost to the visitors. Dales and
Pickstock were now much applauded for their splendid passing, but being encumbered
with Housley the ball was sent to Ewbank who gained a corner-kick. This was extremely
well judged, dropping in front of goal on to the ubiquitous head owned by Dales,
and was sent between the posts. (Goal No.3 for Middlesbrough.) The home team playing
up in good form completely overwhelmed their erstwhile dreaded opponents. Ewbank
and Thompson made a fine run, and on being tackled by Robertshaw, passed to Dales,
and bang went the ball through the goal for the fourth time. The back play of the
home team was exceptionally fine, the repeated dashes made at this point of the game
by the visitors being rolled back time after time. Once more the visitors’ citadel
was besieged, and often was Housley cheered for the back play that in past days was
the delight of the Sheffielders and the dread of their opponents. Just before half-time
Thompson and dales made shots, but failed to get the ball beneath the cross-bar.
On changing ends the visitors had the wind in their favour, and it was expected they
would score. They immediately threatened the home citadel, and made a very wide shot.
Ewbank, whilst making a good run, came to grief against Thornhill, and Roberts made
a spurt up the centre, only to be aided in his return journey by the home backs.
Pickstock then passed the ball well to Dales, for whom Housley proved too clever.
Cochrane delivered the leather well to Ewbank, who after a difficult tussle with
Shippam and Robertshaw centred to Dales, who put it between the posts, scoring goal
number five. (No.5.) Pickstock and Thompson were most prominent in the attack just
now. Cochrane made a shot that was played by Gibson, and striking the goal post went
behind. Nothing was scored from the corner kick. The visitors now became very lively,
directing their attention on the home goal. Wilson made his way near it, but allowed
the ball to run beyond his reach, and Shearer, picking it up, coolly threw it back
over their heads. Again danger hovered nigh the Middlesbrough goal, the visitors
gaining three corner-kicks in quick succession, from which nothing tangible resulted.
Ewbank and Thompson then broke through, and a scrimmage was fought in front of Sheffield;
then a corner kick was gained, and Dales made a wide shot. Cawley for a moment looked
formidable, which brought Peel on his track. A curious incident here occurred. The
ball stopped dead six yards in front of the Sheffield goal, between the keeper and
four of the home forwards, but owing to the slippery state of the ground none of
these could kick the ball. For half a minute the spectators roared in their excitement,
and then Booth came up from half back and made a shot which just missed scoring.
West required the attention which was paid to him by Bastard and Cochrane. Pringle
made a long shot, and the ball touched Gibson’s fingers, passing a yard beneath the
cross-bar. The Sheffield umpire thought it went over, therefore to avoid unpleasant
dispute, the Middlesbrough captain gave in. The attack on the Sheffield fortress
after this episode was much fiercer, and after some near shaves Ewbank with a fine
screw obtained a goal just as time was called. The Middlesbrough team won by six
goals to nil: For the visitors: Housley, Shippam, and Cawley played well, while the
clean kicking of the Middlesbrough backs and fine passing of their forwards were
all that could be desired. Team:-- Sheffield Albion --Gibson, goal; Housley and Robertshaw,
backs; Thornhill and Shippam, half-backs; Cawley and Ambler, left wing; Roberts and
Wilson, centre; England and West, right wing, forwards. Middlesbrough -- Shearer,
goal; Ransford and Bastard, backs; Cochrane, Peel and Booth, half-backs; Dales and
Pickstock, left wing; Pringle centre; Thompson and Ewbank (captain), right wing,
forwards.

TYNE (NEWCASTLE) v MIDDLESBROUGH.
These two senior clubs, and old antagonists met on Saturday at Middlesbrough to again
try their strength and skill. For several seasons they were in the unique position
of playing consecutive drawn matches, and the Middlesbrough team broke the spell,
winning every match since. On this occasion it was expected the Tynesiders would
be able to turn the tables, having received some valuable acquisitions to their ranks.
The home team commenced the attack, aided by the wind, and were quickly swarming
over the Tyne territory. For a time Samborne, by free kicking kept them from immediate
acquaintance with his goal. This Peel tried to counteract by making a long shot,
but the wind drew the ball from the goal. A good pass by Pringle to Ewbank, and his
shot was rendered useless owing to the wind, and soon Challoner was working his way
well into the home quarters, only to be overthrown by Bastard, and a smart attack
ensued on the Tyne goal. A neat bit of dodging on the part of Thompson called forth
the plaudits of the spectators; he tried a shot which was well stopped by Reid in
goal, but from a scrimmage in front thereof the ball went between the posts. This
goal was disallowed, the ball having been out of play. The ball was then taken to
the touch line, and being well thrown in front of the Tyne goal, went off one of
the backs between the posts. First goal for Middlesbrough. For some time after the
visitors had to act on strictly defensive principles, the play being entirely in
their quarters. Ewbank got the ball and darted down the right wing, and the visitors
evidently thinking it of no use trying to baffle him, left him to kick the ball as
he chose and lined up in goal. Ewbank placed the ball beautifully in front of goal
and Pringle got it through. Second goal for Middlesbrough. Messant now showed prominently
in the van with Challoner, but both failed to get past the Tees half-backs. Booth,
Cochrane and Peel, all of whom played finely. At length they succeeded in working
into home territory by a powerful rush, but Messant allowed the ball to get beyond
him, and Shearer easily kicked it into neutral ground. A fierce fight on the Tyne
citadel was finished by Challoner bustling Dales on his back. Soon a corner kick
was gained, from which, however, nothing was scored. Then the goal keeper (Reid)
saved his charge brilliantly from a shot by Dales, and another shot out of the crowd
of players. A corner kick was frustrated from evil intent by Lewis, but Peel, trying
a long shot, succeeded in scoring a third goal for Middlesbrough. Incessant attacks
were then made on the visitors’ goal until half time. The accurate short passing
of the Middlesbrough forwards evidently placed the Tyne men at sea. A fine body of
players in physique, they lack the combined play which render forwards really dangerous.
In regard to selfish play, they are little better than their team was years ago.
If they would practice exact passing they would make the Tyne team an exceptionally
good one. On recommencing, the wind, which had been rather high, fell; a rather unfortunate
circumstance for the Tyne, who required its best aid. The play continued to be characterised
by the same features as before -- an incessant attack on the Tyne goal, with only
brief intervals of relief. The goal keeper obliged Ewbank with a corner kick almost
immediately. Lewis, who played the best half-back game for the visitors, succeeded
in relieving his goal by a powerful kick that sent the ball rolling down the field
past Shearer, who had left his goal 70 yards in the rear, and, amid some excitement
and laughter, only missed the goal by half a foot. Thompson continued to play brilliantly;
his shots, however, were not successful. Messant drove the ball to Middlesbrough,
from whence it was returned to Dales and Pickstock on the left wing by Cochrane,
and the two passing with fine exactitude scored the fourth goal, Dales having the
final kick. Al last, the ball being worked promiscuously to the Middlesbro’ goal,
Messant had a fair chance of scoring, but the ball flew over the crossbar. Soon Thompson
made a shot, and the ball went through, but touched Pringle, who was standing off-side,
on its journey and the goal was disallowed. Dales and Pickstock were very promising
at this period, largely calling into play the best exertions of the opposing goal
keeper. We think Ewbank would have scored once or twice but for hanging too much
on his wing when a direct run and shot was most evidently the game. Owing to a foul
Messant again had a shot, but Shearer was equal to the occasion. The Tyne goal keeper
stopped five or six shots in quick succession, and then a free kick was allowed to
the home team. Ransford kicked with good judgement, scored goal the fifth, the ball
striking Reid on the hand. No further score was made, the Middlesbrough team winning
by five goals to nil. It is extremely desirable that the later portion of future
matches should not be played in darkness. Teams:-- Tyne (Newcastle) -- Reid, goal;
Samborne and Davidson, backs; Corder, Gould,

CLEVELAND ASSOCIATION CHALLENGE CUP.
MIDDLESBROUGH V GUISBROUGH
The first tie in the competition for the Cleveland Association Challenge Cup
was played on Saturday afternoon, on the Guisbrough Cricket Ground, in the presence
of a large number of spectators. The contesting teams were those of Middlesbrough
and Guisbrough, and in the first half the play on both sides was of the most stubborn
character. Guisbrough won the toss, and elected to play down the field with the wind
in their favour. With this advantage, the home team forwards managed to keep the
ball in the visitors goal. Dixon, on the right wing, made several good shots for
the goal, all of which, however, were splendidly stopped by Shearer, the Middlesbrough
goal-keeper. Some stiff play followed, and just before half-time was called, by a
most determined rush, the Middlesbrough men, after a hard struggle, scored the first
goal, the play of Ewbank being loudly applauded. Upon changing ends the visitors
scored goal after goal until nine had been totalled by them. Mr C. Messenger (Guisbrough)
and Mr Hardisty (Middlesbrough) were the umpires, and Mr Hildreth the referee.
Teams:-- Middlesbrough -- Forwards ?oper, Pickstock, Borrie, and Matthewson; half-backs,
Peel, Beckton, and Booth; backs, Ransford, and J.Ewbank; goal, Shearer. Guisbrough

CLEVELAND CHALLENGE CUP
FINAL TIE : MIDDLESBROUGH V. REDCAR AND COATHAM.
As already reported in the Exchange, these clubs met on the Middlesbrough Cricket
Ground on Saturday afternoon, in the final tie of the Cleveland Challenge Club. Considerably
over 1,000 persons were admitted to the ground, and amongst the more distinguished
visitors in the pavilion were Col.S.A.Sadler, Mr and Miss Sadler, Mr Henry Cochrane,
Mrs R.Dixon and the Misses Dixon, Mr and Mrs J.T. Relk, Mr and Mrs H.J.Parrington,
Mr and Mrs C. Moses, Miss Moses, Coun. Sanderson, Coun. Barratt &c, The greatest
interest was evinced in the match, as the Redcar and Coatham club has been playing
in splendid form of late, so that it was fully expected that they would be able to
score a victory, and have the honour of being the first winners of the handsome cup.
Shortly after three o’clock play commenced, the Middlesbrough men winning the toss
and electing to play the first three quarters of an hour against the wind, or kicking
to the pavilion goal. The kick off by Middlesbrough was well returned by the Redcar
forwards, who followed up the ball and succeeded in securing a corner kick.. Cruse
made a capital kick from the corner, the ball being quickly passed to W. Harrison,
the captain of the Redcar team, who succeeded in scoring the first goal amidst the
deafening cheers of the spectators. When the ball was started, Borrie got possession
of it and by a splendid piece of dribbling the distance of the ground, succeeded
in securing a corner kick, but the advantage was lost -- the ball went behind the
post. The Redcar men, by playing a good passing game, were soon afterwards able to
secure a throw-in with the wind, and Cruse again displayed his judgement by placing
the ball right beneath the bar, the second goal being scored for Redcar by the globe
rebounding off Ransford’s head. The Middlesbrough men now tried hard to score a goal,
but the quickness of Howcroft was too much for them, and five minutes after the Redcar
forwards obtained possession, securing a throw-in at the same place where the last
goal was secured. Cruse’s shot was successful, and the third goal was registered
amid considerable cheering. Soon after half time was called, and the ends were changed,
and now it was seen what a great advantage it was to have the wind in their favour.
The Middlesbrough team seemed to have quickened considerably in their play, and four
shots were made almost in succession at the goal, but the majority of these went
over the bar. At length Thompson succeeded in planting the first goal for Middlesbro’
amid cheers. Some splendid dribbling was now witnessed, C. Booth especially distinguishing
himself by the way in which he tackled Wm. Harrison, the captain of the Redcar team,
while Pickstock was also to the fore. From an allowance of hand, Borrie -- a young
and promising player -- passed to Pickstock, and the result was goal number two for
Middlesbrough amid great excitement. Both teams were now encouraged by the shouts
of their supporters, and a long severe struggle took place, but the Middlesbrough
men would not be denied, and after some fine play on the part of Ewbank, goal number
three was secured for Middlesbro’, thus equalising matters. The home team now strove
hard to gain another goal during the three minutes before the call of time, but they
were un successful, and the day’s play ended in a tie. The game was said to be the
most scientific display of football which has ever been seen in this district. The
teams were as follows:
MIDDLESBROUGH
Rowland, goal ; Ewbank (captain) and Ransford, backs ; C.Booth, O.H.Cochrane,
and Beckton, half-backs ; Borrie and Mattison, right wing ; Thompson and Pickstock,
left wing ; A.Pringle, centre ; Mr Hardisty, umpire.

CLEVELAND CHALLENGE CUP, -- FINAL TIE.
REDACAR AND COATHAM V, MIDDLESBROUGH.
The final tie in this important match was played on Saturday. It will be remembered
that three weeks ago the two competing clubs played an undecided match -- each scoring
three goals, after some of the most exciting play ever witnessed, At a meeting of
the Association they were ordered to renew the fight again on April 1st. At Middlesbrough.
During the past week the final tie has been an absorbing topic of conversation in
the iron town and adjacent villages and partizan feeling ran very high. Every scrap
of news relative to the training and composition of the respective teams was eagerly
seized upon and discussed, and the coming contest fought beforehand thereon. The
weather, which for a long time had been favourable to the pursuit of the pas time,
broke during the week, and rain fell steadily on Friday, giving rise to the most
gloomy surmises as to the success of the match. Even in the early part of Saturday
morning a steady drizzle was maintained, but later on Old Sol showed his face, and
continued his favours the remainder of the day. The spectators came in from all parts
and formed the greatest muster ever seen on the field, and they would have been vastly
increased if the local railway company had shown a little of the enterprise of similar
companies in various parts. Many of the leading person ages in the district viewed
the game with evident enjoyment. Shortly after three o’clock the ground was cleared,
and the teams issued from the pavilion, each being loudly cheered, some of the players
being distinguished by having their names called out and applauded. As they took
their places it was seen that the Middlesbrough team was the same as fought against
the Scotchmen last week, whilst the Redcar team appeared a better lot than in the
former match. Wethey, an Oxonian, was n the left with Bulman, Marson had come from
Grantham to take part in the fight for his old team, and Fidler had again taken his
proper position as full back, instead of playing a weak game forward. As usual, Ewbank
the Middlesbrough captain won the toss, and the ball was kicked off, moving quickly
into the Redcar quarters, Here, Howcroft, between the sticks, greatly distinguished
himself, and continued to do so throughout the game, and deservedly gaining the heartiest
applause from the partisans of both clubs. The Redcar captain, W.Harrison, obtained
the first goal, and when half the game was over no further addition had been made
to the score, although the play was remarkably fast. Soon after recommencing Pringle
equalised the score from a corner kick. To attempt to describe the play is well-nigh
impossible, the intensest spirit of rivalry affecting both players and spectators
alike, and the match will long be remembered and fought peacefully in words over
and over again. It looked as if a draw was again to be the only result, the defence
of both goals being very good, but shortly time was called Borrie walked round his
opponents and sent in a hot one, which Howcroft the agile found impossible to ward
off. This success was received with tremendous cheering, waving of handkerchiefs,
and tossing of hats, and proved the winning point of the match. We are pleased to
notice the innovation made by the association in securing the services of the respected
secretary of Lancashire county as referee and are convinced that it helped to make
the match the great success it was. Subjoined are details of the match :-- At 3.15p.m.
the ball was kicked off, the Middlesbrough men securing a corner kick immediately,
the evil intent of which was multiplied by Bradbury. Ewbank then ran up and tried
a shot, which Howcroft stayed. Another corner to Middlesbrough proved of no use,
and the leather was gradually worked into the Middlesbrough ground. Here Mattison
and Borrie took charge, and passed well to the Redcar goal, from whence it was thrown
away by Howcroft, and Wethey, securing the ball, set off at a rare speed, avoiding
all opposition, and sent it in front of the Middlesbrough citadel. Shepherd took
the shot and missed, the ball barely passing outside. This bad luck was soon made
up by Rowlands, the goal keeper, who made a bad kick, and the ball only rolling a
little distance was easily put through by W.Harrison. First goal for Redcar. Ewbank
threatened the opposite goal, but the ball went over from his shot, and soon it moved
dangerously near the Middlesbrough goal. And again a score was just missed. For two
or three minutes the play continued in the Middlesbrough ground, which was then relieved
by Peel. From Middlesbrough to Redcar and Redcar to Middlesbrough was now the order
of play for some time, the principal defenders being Cochrane, Pringle, Cruse, and
Bradbury. Then the sea side forwards hovered on the Middlesbrough goal, but the golden
opportunity was lost by Bulman over running the ball. As if indignant at this, the
fickle goddess now favoured the Ironsides. An attack was developed on the Redcar
fortress, and Howcroft saved splendidly his charge from the danger caused by a throw
in. Soon after the ball was scrimmaged on his goal-line, and by the merest chance
escaped drifting through, and for a moment created the greatest excitement. Shepherd
now made a diversion in favour of Redcar by running the ball the length of the field,
but succumbed when most dangerous to Peel; and in quick succession Howcroft stopped
four shots at the Redcar goal. Wethey was again to the fore and forced his opponents
to give a corner kick, which Pringle foiled. Borrie showed prominently, but Bradbury
sent the ball back, and Ransford missing his kick near the Middlesbrough goal almost
secured its downfall. Half-time was now called. On play being resumed a strong attack
was made on the Redcar stronghold, but the chance of scoring was not taken up, and
the ball was taken to Middlesbrough, and two or three byes resulted. Eventually it
was got away, and a very hearty scrimmage on the Redcar goal resulted. Howcroft,
however, was forced over the touch-line with the ball in his hands, and from the
corner kick Pringle equalised the score, making it one goal each. W.Harrison hereabout
made some splendid runs, but failed to score, and once more the Redcar custodian
saved his charge in a wonderful fashion from a good centre by Pickstock. Marson attempted
to raise the siege but was defeated by Pringle, who was playing in rare form at this
time. The play continued in the Middlesbro’ territory, and Redcar gained a corner-kick,
but Pringle headed the ball away, and a couple of similar kicks fell to the lot of
Middlesbrough, but fruitlessly. A few minutes before the call of time Borrie, with
some good dodging, was enabled to send the ball into the Redcar goal, which Howcroft
for once could not stop, and the winning point was gained, for when time was called
Middlesbrough was victorious by two goals to one. It would be invidious to single
out individual members for special praise when all did their best. Teams -- Redcar
and Coatham -- Howcroft, goal; Bradbury and Fidler, backs; Cruse, Yeo, and T.Harrison,
half backs; W. Harrison (capt.), Marson, Wethey, Shepherd, and Bulman, forwards.

MIDDLESBROUGH (ASSOCIATION) V GLASGOW (PARTICK THISTLE)
This important match between the above clubs was played at the Cricket Field,
Linthorpe-road, Middlesbrough, on Saturday afternoon last, and resulted in a victory
for the visitors by four goals to one. The Scotch team is known as one of the best
across the border, and therefore, before the match commenced, it was generally thought
that the Middlesbrough men would have to play second fiddle to their more practised
opponents, but the home team made a good bout of it, and had they played with a little
more tact and coolness they might have been able to have made a drawn game of it.
The first goal was secured for Glasgow soon after the game commenced, owing to the
bungling of Rowland, the Middlesbrough goal-keeper. The home team, however, got possession
of the globe, but were unfortunate, as, after some capital runs, a couple of shots
at goal went over the crossbar, and the visitors regaining possession, never left
the globe until they had scored a second goal. From a scrimmage, the Scotchmen scored
goal No.3, and then half time was called. Middlesbrough, in the second half of the
game, played much better together, but they were unable to prevent their opponents
from securing the fourth goal. The rest of the play was entirely in favour of Middlesbrough,
Borrie scoring the first and only goal secured by the home team, who missed several
good chances of scoring. The teams were :-- Partick Thistle -- Beattie, goal; Henry
and Brown, backs; Cooper and Cackie (capt.), half backs; Young and Ewing, right wing;
Patterson and McCall, centre; Bain and Duff, left forwards. Middlesbrough -- Rowlands,
goal; Peel and Ransford, backs; Pringle, Cochrane, and Booth, half-backs; Ewbank
(capt.) and Mattison, right wing; Borrie, centre; Pickstock and Thompson, left wing;
Mr J.Harrison referee.
