History
Glasgow District backed up last season's win in the Inter-City with another win against Edinburgh District.[1] The Midlands District were due to play North of Scotland District on 23 December 1882;[2] but the north team did not turn up. The match was advertised and a crowd had formed at the Institution ground at Balgay Farm, Dundee. The Institution team provided a XV; and the rest of the Midlands District players drawn from St. Andrews University, Dundee HSFP and Panmure provided a XV - and so a Instititution vs Rest of Midlands match was instead played.[3]
