Match Report |
Yesterday, at Wrexham, England
defeated Wales decisively by three goals to none. The result hardly
represents the difference between the teams, and probably on a more
suitable ground the Englishmen's superiority would have been much more
manifest. At all points of the game they were much the stronger. The
Association game does not yet seem to arouse much enthusiasm in Wales,
and the crowd of about 5,000 people included a good proportion of
visitors from the neighbouring English counties. As far as concerned
England the game was primarily of importance as the final trial before
their match with Scotland next Saturday, and the performance of the
Englishmen gave such satisfaction that only three changes have been
deemed necessary, and these in places where yesterday's side obviously
needed strengthening...
...Wheldon scoring the only
goal when play had been in progress about ten minutes...
...to within 15 minutes of time
England had failed to increase their lead, but then Wheldon shot a
second goal, and just before the close G. O. Smith headed a third.
