Lady footballers

Stuart Gibbs leads us towards a period when football as a sport was still in its early stages.  Just 10 years prior to the first recorded match of women's football the FA played their first national cup. Why did 22 girls from Scotland decided to play their first match an even toured through Northern England so early?

The people who saw the matches often didn't know what to think of. Thus its was not astonishing, that some matches ended in a riot as the spectators storrmed the field - even the first female hooligans had their premier during one of the matches by the "Scotland vs. England" encounters.
