June 1877
A rain soaked June did nothing to dampen the spirits of the league’s players as they continued to enjoy playing within an organised base ball league. Crowds in the region of 200 gathered to enjoy Moss Lane Base Ball Club play on their field in south Manchester, their good form continued through June, allowing them to keep hold of first place. They did struggle against Princes Park in the three games they faced one another, Princes Park won two and one game ended in a NINE run tie. Edge Hill Red Stockings slumped to the bottom of the league winning only two of their nine games in June.
