Results
Black Arabs F.C. were not part of a league, and only played friendly matches during their first season. There is no record of the goalscorers from this season, and some match results have also been lost over time.
The first match was against Wotton-under-Edge on 1 December 1883 and two days later the Dursley Gazette carried the following report:
Football: Wotton-under-Edge v Black Arabs (Bristol). A match under association rules has been played at Wotton-under-Edge between these clubs, resulting in the defeat of the visiting team. The home team were in every point superior to their antagonists and after a one-sided game Wotton were declared victors by six goals to nil. —Dursley Gazette, 3 December 1883, reproduced in Byrne & Jay (2003).
