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.
