From the Eton College Chronicle, 15/5/1879 edition (part of a review of the season):

In the 3rd and 4th [sic] ties Reading and the Minerva Club respectively were met. The former match was won only by one goal to nothing, but it was played at a time when the frost rendered real football almost out of the question, as the ground was far more fit for skating than for running.
