History

One Saturday in 1791 a match at foot-ball was played in Osbournby field between the bachelors of Osbournby and Billingboro'; when, after a severe contest of six hours, wherein several feats of agility were shewn, it was decided in favour of the youths of Billingbor'; on which occasion they wore favours of blue ribband, as a mark of their distinction. ^[3]
