Sheffield Sub-Site

Played at Manningham, Bradford,

on Saturday, 08/03/1884

over 7 boards, 2 games per board (time permitting).

The Leeds Mercury of 15/03/1884 gave the result of this match as follows:

	Manningham	6-6		Ilkley
1	Dr. Rabagliati	0‑1		S. Robinson
2	R. M. McMaster	1-0	½‑½	W. Critchley
3	H. B. Priestman	1-0	½‑½	W. S. Critchley
4	E. B. Stead	1-0	0-1	E. Dobson
5	F. Shalders *	0-1	1-0	B. M. Hood
6	F. Shalders *	1-0		W. E. Press
7	G. Hoyle	0-1	0-1	T. Mawson

(* No explanation was given regarding F. Shalders appearing on two boards.)

The apparent identities of the players would appear to be as follows:

As Reported	Club	Fuller Name
Dr. Rabagliati	Manningham	Dr. Andrea Carlo Francisco Rabagliati
R. M. Macmaster	Manningham	Robert McCheyne Macmaster
H. B. Priestman	Manningham	Henry Brady Priestman
E. B. Stead	Manningham	Edward Billingsley Stead
F. Shalders	Manningham	(see below)
F. Shalders	Manningham	(see below)
G. Hoyle	Manningham
S. Robinson	Ilkley
W. Critchley	Ilkley	William Critchley
W. S. Critchley	Ilkley	William Sallit Critchley
E. Dobson	Ilkley
B. M. Hood	Ilkley	Benjamin Martin Hood
W. E. Press	Ilkley	William Edward Press
T. Mawson	Ilkley

The double occurrence of “F. Shalders” is odd.  A possible explanation is that one instance referred to Albert Owen Shalders, while the other referred to a player with the initial “F.”, such as F. Craven (recorded as a member of the Manningham club).
