Some accounts call the match Small v Walker, and they may have been the captains. (Variant) A number of sources (KC, KG, SM, the Star ) disagree with Britcher, but also with each other, on various points. In view of the lack of consensus Britcher is accepted. DC incorrectly has this match dated 1796. 231
