The two clubs were founding members of the Tees Side Chess Association, which was formed on 17/10/1883, and has now evolved into the Cleveland Chess .Association.

The Mercury mentioned that the Middlesbrough board 3 was the former Leeds player, D. Fawcett. This D. Fawcett drew with Blackburne in a simultaneous display (see 1882 November: Blackburne in Leeds).
