any team ever had a finer lot of tacklers." In the short time the team was together, their greatest rivals were their neighbours, Blackheath FC, with whom they played the closest and most exciting matches. Disbandment With the emigration of Cameron Hewitt and Fred and Sidney Fry to Canada in the early 1880s and the retirement of Tom Fry, the team lost its nucleus. Rather than risk the probability of a decadence it was decided to disband the club in the height of its prosperity. Notable players A number of Queen's House players represented England: T. Fry (first capped 1880) Sidney Ellis (first capped 1880) W.
