Played on Saturday, 25/02/1882, Royal Hotel, Wood Street, Wakefield, over 7 boards.
This was described as a “return” match, so there was presumably a Dewbury v Wakefield match in late 1881.

Play started at 6.30 p.m. and ended at 9.30 p.m. The outcome, as reported by the Leeds Mercury Weekly Supplement of 11/03/1882 was as follows:
The players’ identities would seem to be as follows:
