Played at Huddersfield,

on Saturday, 01/03/1884,

The Huddersfield team which opposed their visitors from Holmfirth constituted something in the nature of a second or third team, there being no particularly strong members of the Huddersfield club.  The outcome was still a heavy defeat for Holmfirth.
