No newspaper reports have been found for this match, however it was published as a fixture at the start of the season, and is listed in the season's results published in a weekly 1929 Football Echo article by W.T.Wallace (the club secretary at the time). Inclusion of the match in the overall season playing record is also consistent with the playing record published at the club's 1885 AGM, so we can be fairly sure the match did take place.
