Both played for the Blues on June 14 1884 against Hotham on the M.C.G.
The two players were regulars in the Carlton side for the remainder of the 1884 season.

The Mount Gambier newspaper the Border Watch December 6 1884 mentions that Carlton footballer R. C. Randall ran in the Athletic Club Handicap on November 10.

The Athletic Committee disqualified Randall.
The Sportsman April 29 1885 (p2) said Randall of Carlton has retired.
