In the final, played at Kennington Oval on 25 March 1882, Old Etonians met Blackburn Rovers, who were the first team from outside London and the home counties to appear in an FA Cup Final. Blackburn Rovers included England internationals, Fred Hargreaves and his brother, John, and Jimmy Brown. The Old Boys dominated the early stages of the match but Rovers defended well until, according to the match report in Gibbons' "Association Football in Victorian England", "... following an expert through ball by Dunn, Macaulay steered the ball between the Blackburn goalposts to secure a well-deserved half-time lead..." However, a tribute in The Times (1937) states MacAuley was fond of recalling he outpaced the Blackburn players and helped towards the goal, without claiming to have scored it. Other reports identify the scorer differently: Bell's Life in London, The Field and The Times stated it was Anderson, the first two detailing the ball had been successively passed to him by MacAuley and Dunn, while The Sporting Life states the ball was centred "to the front of the posts" by Novelli before it was kicked "out of a brief and loose bully" (i.e. a scrimmage) by an unnamed player. The time at which the goal was reportedly scored also varies: eight minutes from the start by Bell's Life, ten minutes by The Sportsman, and "a quarter of an hour's play" by The Sporting Life. The Old Etonians were able to prevent Blackburn from scoring in the second half, thus claiming the cup for the second time in three years.
