notes

Dundonians was the original name of the merger of Strathmore and Johnstone Wanderers in January 1894, before Dundee Wanderers was chosen in June 1894. OH has this listed as a 1-1 draw, but detailed reports in the SC/GH say it was 1-0 to the homesters and we go with them.

Match Report

TTA report

Dundonians kicked off uphill into the wind in the first half. Paul, Freebairn and Galloway all had chances but defences were on top. Robertson (stand-in keeper for Crozier) struggled with several saves. After “a lengthy spell of aggressive play” (SC) the locals scored from a cross “with rare judgement” (DC).
