Match report:

From the Reading Mercury, 8/3/1873 edition:

"Foot Ball Match - A spirited contest took place here on Wednesday, between Maidenhead and Reading, terminating by two goals in favour of the former."

Match notes:

The one-sentence report in the Reading Mercury (which forms the only evidence I have found that this game took place) is a bit vague about the scoreline. Although a 3-1 win could be described as being "two goals in favour" I am assuming that the result was really 2-0.
