Played at Manningham (apparently),

on Saturday, 07/11/1874,

over 8 boards, 3 games per board (time permitting).

The East Ward team in this match contained a number of players who played later for Bradford Chess Club.  Alfred Charles Padgett fairly soon moved to Cheshire, but the next five boards are all familiar as notable Bradford players.

The Bradford Observer of Tuesday, 10/11/1874, reported the results of this match as follows:

	Manningham Lib.	8-13			East Ward Lib.
1	A Illingworth	0-1			A C Pagdett
2	R J Petty	1‑0	1‑0	1‑0	G F Onions
3	Steade	1-0	0-1	0-1	A Liversedge
4	Geo. Clay	½‑½	0-1	0-1	C D Knapton
5	J Hardman	1-0	½‑½	0-1	S Hudson
6	R Whitaker	1-0	½‑½		J H Tetley
7	J Waite	½‑½	0-1	0-1	Geo. Roberts
8	G Hoyle	0-1	0-1	0-1	Geo. Plummer
