Manchester sent a team to play Bradford Chess club on 07/02/1903, over 9 boards, one game being played per board, with the following result:

Bradford	3½‑5½	Manchester
J E Hall	½-½	E Spencer
J A Guy	½-½	F C Carroll
I M Brown	½-½	Rev W C Palmer
G Howitt	½-½	C H Wallwork
Rev S Walker	0-1	G H Midgley
J Milner	0-1	T Kelly
W Shaw	0-1	E Midgley
C Quarkowsky	½-½	J H Jordan
W C Wilson	1-0	H Hibbs

Most, if not all the players, are recognisable as players who represented their respective counties.

A fortnight later, essentially the same Manchester team similarly visited Leeds.
