1882–83 Scottish Districts season
The 1882–83 Scottish Districts season is a record of all the rugby union matches for Scotland's district teams. It includes the East of Scotland District versus West of Scotland District trial match. History. Glasgow District backed up last season's win in the Inter-City with another win against Edinburgh District. The Midlands District were due to play North of Scotland District on 23 December 1882; 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. The East v West match was played, despite a covering of the pitch by 2 inches of snow. Both teams were a man short, so the match was played 14 men against 14 men. Results. English matches. No other District matches played. International matches. No touring matches this season.
