A.J. Nethercote's Gentlemen of England XI
In the February of 1896 A.J. 'Rumpy' Netercote led his team of English gentlemen onto the playing fields of Cape Town against a team made up of 'Natives Of The Cape Colony'. Though Nethercote's team were ultimately victorious it was only by a technicality rather than good play. Undoubtedly such a victory led to some contention and disagreement between the tourists and the local players as this remained the only match on record played by Nethercote's team.
