Eton v Harrow — The Lord's Rematch That Restarted the Annual Fixture, 1818
Eton College vs Harrow School
1818-07-30
Thirteen years after the inaugural 1805 meeting at Thomas Lord's old ground in Dorset Square — the match in which Lord Byron had played for Harrow with a runner — Eton and Harrow met again at the new Lord's at St John's Wood in July 1818. The rematch restarted what would, from 1822, become the longest-running annual schoolboy fixture in cricket. By the late nineteenth century Eton v Harrow at Lord's was one of the great social occasions of the London summer.
