Match Report |
|
|
At Wrexham, on
Monday afternoon, the second match between the Association
representatives of England and Wales was decided in the presence of a
large number of spectators. During the first half of the game England
secured one goal. Soon after ends were changed Sparks kicked a second
goal for England, who were then deprived of the services of Brindle.
Wales now played up with great determination, and succeeded in placing
two goals to their credit. The visitors, however, for the third time
lowered their opponents' colours, and thus won by three goals to two.
