Summary:l
The pitch at Central Park for this game was "scarcely fit
to play on" described as being in a "wretched state" meaning that "anything
approaching accurate football was entirely out of the question". I get the
feeling the newspaper writer of the time seems to be hinting that this was
the reason for the 0-0 draw. :-)
