Rules derby

Rules derby

Rules derby is a football derby played in Sheffield, England between Sheffield F.C. and Hallam F.C.. It was first played on 26 December 1860 and is the oldest soccer fixture in the world. The name refers to the fact that the fixture was originally played under the Sheffield Rules.

The first match was played at Hallam's home ground, Sandygate Road and resulted in a Sheffield victory by two goals to nil. The teams competed in the first ever football match at Bramall Lane. Due to a fight that erupted it was dubbed the Battle of Bramall Lane.
