Two team sheets from the Meeting of the Schoolboy Champions at Ardwick on Saturday April 21st 1894, between Manchester and Sheffield, printed on card giving the player names, schools they attended, details of the officials, date of the game and an advertisement for the Shields and Medals Final tie on Saturday May 5th, both sheets are in generally good condition with creases, marks and age related evidence of dirt, (2) We believe that the tie was played in 1894 at Hyde Road, originally the home of Ardwick FC just after, following financial issues, they had reformed as Manchester City FC on April 16th and, although coming from his collection, Joe Ryalls isn't listed in the team. Provenance: The Ryalls family.
