"Yesterday afternoon the fifteenth match between England ad Wales was played at Stoke-on-Trent, before ten thousand spectators. The weather was rather dull, but the turf was in grand condition. Additional local interest was aroused in the match by the fact that Schofield, the little local flyer, was included in the English team, along with Spiksley, the Sheffield crack. The Welsh team was first on the field, both receiving a good reception. England won the toss and Schofield was conspicuous from the start. Bassett sending behind, Spikelsey was defeated in a scrummage on the line, but he recovered himself a minute later, and shot into Trainer's hands, a similar attempt by Bassett being cleared. Wales broke away, but Holmes cleared. Schofield got away, but fell, Trainer clearing. Two fouls followed, the final shot by the Wales half (Reynolds) going wide. Still pressing, Holmes put the ball out, Wales gaining an advantage from a foul. The England left wing was well watched, both Spiksley and Schofield having fruitless shots. Butler, for the visitors, stopped a combined rush of the home forwards and immediately afterwards Sutcliffe cleared well from a header from Roberts. Both goals were attacked smartly, and from a foul Trainer saved marvellously. Parry made a nice pass, Whitehead unfortunately falling over the ball. From a grand pass by Bassett, Turner shot past the upright, Holmes clearing. At the other end, with all the Welsh five to deal with, Morris headed away a fine shot from Bassett. Play continued in the Welsh half, Trainer saving a shot from Goodall. A foul against the visitors resulted in an onslaught on the Wales goal. Schofield put in a lightning shot, Spiksley getting through from the return. Continuing to press, the ball was fouled in the Welsh goal the ball being put through from a scrummage. Wales broke away, Clare clearing off-side saving the visitors' goal, Williams, at centre-half-half, playing a grand game. Just before half-time the game opened out, Wales making several rushes, the home backs returning well. Roberts defeating Holmes, Clare forced a goal-kick, and Whitehead skied over the bar from a neat pass by Bassett.
