First Team Reports 1872/73

This is the second ever season for Reading Football Club. A report in the autumn of 1873 stated that Reading only lost two games during this season.

At the moment the list below is incomplete. The game against Reading Grammar School was a return game but I can find no record of the first match. I am also missing the results for two games (if they did in fact take place), and the score for one. It may be that this information really is lost for ever.

By clicking on the text in the "result" column, you will be able to obtain match reports, notes and details.
