The 1886–87 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 won the Inter-City by a try to nil. [1] The Greenock Telegraph and Clyde Shipping Gazette of 6 December 1886 reporting the match: "Played at Anniesland, Glasgow, on Saturday, in good weather. At the start of the game Edinburgh had the best of it for about fifteen minutes, but thereafter they had to act on the defensive. Although at half-time no scoring had taken place the second period was much in favour of Glasgow, for whom Kerr gained a try twenty minutes from time, which was not improved on." [2]
The East v West fixture was marred by a leg break to Asher, the East District quarter-back. [3]
