The 1884âÂÂ85 British Home Championship was the second edition of the British Home Championship annual international football tournament between the British Home Nations. It was staged from 28 February to 11 April 1885. Scotland successfully defended its 1884 title. The English also performed well, beginning with a strong victory over Ireland but failed to capitalise on this start with 1âÂÂ1 draws with Wales and Scotland. Wales thrashed Ireland 8âÂÂ1 but were well beaten 8âÂÂ2 by Scotland who won their final game in a similar scoreline against Ireland, who finished last having conceded 20 goals in three games. Scotland, who had scored 16 goals in two tournaments, would win (individually or shared) six of the first seven tournaments.
