This was a cricket match between Ireland and England in 1855? I'm afraid
that I haven't heard of this. I wonder how representative the England
side was? Could it have been the famous "All England XI" run by William
Clarke (IIRC)? That side were the Harlem Globetrotters of their day,
playing sides all over England (and Ireland?) and raising the profile of
the game wherever they went. Many of their matches were XI against XXII,
I believe, which could have been the case here.

I haven't been able to check it out yet, but it may have been 11
apiece. I know Mr Cochoran[sp] fielded an Irish 11, but that would
have been some 15 years later. Before my last backup and reboot I
had all of this stuff at hand.
