A game reported by the Abergavenny Chronicle of February 1876 as being played 'under rugby house rules' on Castle Meadows, Abergavenny. Vale of Usk wore a black fleur-de-lys on their shirts.

* There was no points system in place prior to 1890-91. Instead, a game was determined by the number of goals scored (conversions, dropped goals, and later, penalties). If a try was scored, an opportunity to convert the try into a goal was given. If the goal was kicked successfully, the try no longer counted.

For these games, the number of Tries are shown under 'Tries', and Goals are shown under 'Conversions'. Drop Goals and Penalties are shown in the normal way.
