Today's offering is a glimpse at a couple of games played in the local junior league more than a century ago.
These were the final two contests of the regular season in this league which was on the verge of becoming affiliated with the Quebec Rugby Football Union the following year. Being that the summary is relatively easy to read and includes the line-ups as well as the standings, I thought it would be a good share.

The next scheduled game, largely meaningless between Senecas and New Edinburgh, never happened. In its place, an exhibition was organized between the city's Interprovincial Rugby Football Union team's "seconds" (basically the Rough Riders practice roster, though not making much use of the name at that point) and a team made up of junior league all-stars.
I believe the Seconds had won the QRFU title at their level and were waiting to see if a contest against another union could and would be scheduled.
In the meantime, final standings within the junior ranks were being settled by...coin flip.

Congratulations on that third place finish, New Edinburgh! It was well-earned!
The juniors apparently represented themselves quite nicely in their loss to the IRFU club's back-ups. You can read about that below.
