[1] After last season's defeat at the hands of Edinburgh District, the East of Scotland District decided to play its own trial match to better determine its players for the upcoming match against Edinburgh.

St Andrew's University were unwilling to go further north than Dundee for the game; and as a result the Aberdeenshire side did not travel south.

In the match, C. Williams of the Red Cross/Perth side thought he had scored a try, but this was disputed and a try was not given.
