LACROSSE – WELLAND V. PORT COLBORNE
[Welland Tribune, 28 August 1885]
The Port Colborne lacrosse club played the Wellanders here on Tuesday. The match was the most stubbornly contested ever witnessed on the grounds. After a long siege Welland scored and was allowed the first game. The ball was faced for the second game about 4 o’clock, play continuing until after six without result, when the match was declared closed. The wounded limped off or were helped from the field, and will no doubt be sufficiently recovered in a week or two for another brush. The members of both clubs fought like heroes from first to last, and the hatchet was not buried until the majority were too exhausted to play longer.
