WANDERERS v CLAPHAM ROVERS
Played at Wandsworth on Saturday 2nd March 1878.
The Wanderers won the toss, and chose to play with the help of a strong wind and a hill for the first half of the game. Each side was a man short to start with. The Wanderers scored within five minutes of the start, Richmond kicking the ball through goal. The Rovers made two or three attacks on the Wanderers' goal against wind and hill, but the ball soon returned to their own goal line, and the goal was captured twice by Denton, and once each by Short and Meysey-Thompson, before ends were changed. Lindsay reinforced the Wanderers just before the fifth goal was kicked, and very materially strengthened the Wanderers' defence when ends were changed. At half time the wind went down a little, so that the Rovers did not get so much advantage from it as their opponents, and the Wanderers were able to keep the ball well in neutral territory generally, though Jarrett, Cazenove, and Scott several times put the goal in danger. Once only the Clapham Rovers scored, and this from a long kick by Ogilvie, the goal keeper handling the ball, but as he was unable to quite stop it, it dropped from his hands through goal. Ogilvie tried, by word and example, to make his men play up, but they did not work well together, and besides were one short, though Jarrett and Scott tried to make up for this by hard work.
Clapham Rovers: R.A.Ogilvie (captain), A.J.Stanley (half backs); K.Elmslie, E.Field (backs); E.Mackean (goal); A.Gamble, E.Cazenove, H.Payne, H.St.D.Jarrett, S.W.Scott (forwards).
Wanderers: Hon.A.F.Kinnaird (captain), J.Kirkpatrick (half backs); W.Lindsay, A.H.Stratford (backs); W.H.White (sub) (goal); C.A.Denton, J.Kenrick, E.M.Short, W.F.Richmond, T.N.Tyndale, A.H.Meysey-Thompson (forwards).

CHARTERHOUSE SCHOOL v WANDERERS
Charterhouse. 3rd March 1866. Ground hard and slippery.
In spite of the condition of the ground, and the disadvantages under which both sides laboured equally in not being able to turn quickly, a well-contested game was the result. For a long time it appeared as if no base would be obtained by either side, but after a good run up by F.Barlow, a base was kicked for the Wanderers by H.Forsyth. Now came a tug of war, and the Charterhouse boys tried all they knew to redeem the lost ground, but in spite of play being continued for an extra quarter of an hour, they were unable to stem the tide, and victory remained with the Wanderers. Messrs M.Muir Mackenzie and C.Nepean did their utmost for the School; J.A.Boyson and H.Forsyth worked hard for the Wanderers.
Wanderers: C.W.Alcock, F.B.Barlow, J.A.Boyson, J.A.Cruikshank, R.D.Elphinstone, H.Forsyth, F.Green, A.Haye, D.Hogg, J.Lucas, A.Thompson, W.Thompson.
Charterhouse: M.Muir Mackenzie, E.C.Gibson, C.Scott, O.Walford, W.Cooper, T.Abraham, R.W.Macan, J.Middleton, C.Nepean, W.Boreham, J.Foote, F.Dorling.

Re: Game of the Day
WANDERERS v CHARTERHOUSE SCHOOL
The return match of the present season between the above clubs was played at the Middlesex Cricket Ground, Islington, yesterday, Wednesday 4th March 1868. Play was commenced at a quarter-past three o'clock, the Carthusians kicking towards the tavern with a strong wind in their favour. Both sides played most energetically throughout, but when time was called at 4.35 neither goal had fallen, and the match accordingly terminated in a draw. For the Carthusians, C.E.B.Nepean was chiefly conspicuous; for the Wanderers, W.J.Dixon, J.M.Yates, and the young Carthusian, Povah, played in good style. The Carthusians on this occasion exhibited an improvement on the form they have displayed in their late matches, although their play still needs much care and practice before they can achieve the successes which attended them in their games on Under Green. At present their play appears to want more individual skill than can be found in their team. On two occasions the ball approached dangerously close to the Wanderers' goal, two well directed kicks by C.C.Boyle and T.C.Hooman just escaping the post, which owed their safety chiefly to the excellent judgment and coolness displayed by the Wanderers' goal-keepers J.M.Yates and C.M.Tebbut.
The following were the players:
Wanderers: C.W.Alcock, A.Baker, W.J.Dixon, J.Kirkpatrick, P.Norman, C.M.Tebbut, H.Emanuel, E.W.Wylde, J.M.Yates, F.C.Povah (substitute).
Charterhouse School: C.E.B.Nepean (captain), W.Wallace (W.Brown), E.E.Venables, E.A.Hammick, C.C.Boyle, J.W.Taylor, F.G.Paulson, H.J.Almond, R.Dunn, T.C.Hooman, A.F.Russell.

Re: Game of the Day
WANDERERS v CLAPHAM ROVERS
These clubs met on Saturday, 5th March 1870, to play the return match at Clapham. The Wanderers only turned up nine men to a full team of their opponents, the absentees on the part of the visitors being Messrs Nichols and Huggins.
This was the first match played at Clapham under the new rule of no handling, and we were pleased to see it so steadily adhered to by both sides.
The Wanderers won the toss, and were benefited by a strong wind, Tayloe starting the ball at 3.30. The game was very evenly contested for forty minutes, and without result to either side, although the Rovers' backs were kept busily employed by the excellent forward play of Fleet and Wright. Half-time being called, positions were reversed, and it was then apparent that the strangers felt the loss of their two men, as Daly, by a long kick, assisted by the wind, lowered the Wanderers' goal. On changing ends the Rovers made some good runs, but the ball was always sent back until a scrimmage in the neighbourhood of the Wanderers' goal, and a slight dispute arose as to whether the ball went over or under the tape. The home team eventually yielded the point. Shortly after this a very good run by R.Birkett placed the second goal to the credit of his side. After this nothing of importance took place, and at ten minutes to five the game ended in favour of the Clapham Rovers by two goals to none.
Owing to the English and Scotch match taking place at the Oval on the same day, the Wanderers were deprived of the services of their best men, amongst whom was their captain. Besides the above named, Currie (forward) and Hooman (back) played in excellent form, while of the home team E.A.Field and Tayloe (forward), and Daly and Birkett were the most conspicuous. The sides were:
Wanderers: Vere Wright (captain), A.Fleet, H.Noyes, W.Wallace, F.A.Currie, M.Jutsum, T.C.Hooman, A.Bainbridge, and E.A.Cooper.
Clapham Rovers: J.E.Tayloe (captain), R.H.Birkett, A.Thompson, E.A.Field, Ernest Field, L.M.D'Orsey, C.R.Daly, A.W.French, C.D.French, E.C.Leggett, and E.P.Edwards.
