It is unclear what the score was, but was likely to have been 8-1. Football: A Weekly Record of the Game (29 November 1882, p. 140), the Sheffield Daily Telegraph (27 November 1882, p. 7) and the Leeds Mercury (27 November 1882, p. 7) all record the score as 8-1; the Hull News (2 December 1882, p. 6) does not give a score, but implies that it was 8-1, as it records the half-time score as being 5-1; while the Sheffield Independent (27 November 1882, p. 4 and 2 December 1882, p. 12) records the score as 7-1, with the half-time score being 4-1, and the Derbyshire Times (2 December 1882, p. 6) just gives the score as being 7-1. It was not, however, 9-1, as often recorded.
