Representative Matches Scotch Counties played a trial match against a Glasgow XI on 6 January 1883 to decide on the team to play Lancashire, with Robert 'Sparrow' Brown and William McKinnon playing - the result being a 4–4 draw. The following week, Brown, McKinnon and Peter Miller played for the 'Counties' against Lancashire - drawing 3-3. On the same day as the Lancashire match, James McAulay, James Miller and Jock Hutcheson played for Scotch Counties in a trial match against a Glasgow XI, this time to consider the team to play against Birmingham & District. The result was a 4–0 win with Miller scoring one of the goals. On 27 January 1883, Jock Hutcheson, James McAulay, William McKinnon, James Miller and Peter Miller all played for the 'Counties' against Birmingham & District - drawing 2–2 with James Miller scoring one of the goals. Reserve Team Dumbarton competed in the Scottish Second XI Cup, anxious to repeat their success of the previous season. Reports on these matches are sketchy, no doubt due to the overwhelming local interest in the Scottish Cup progress at the same time, but Dumbarton lost out in the final to Kilmarnock Athletic. On 3 March 1883 a Dumbartonshire B XI played against a Glasgow B XI to raise funds for the Second Eleven Association. R Lindsay, Tom Veitch, G Galbraith, James Liddell, McIntyre and R Anderson were all selected to play for 'Dumbarton' in a 1–1 draw.
