team notes: |
The original team line up had Preston North End FC's Andrew Gara at
outside-left. He could not take his place, so Jimmy Pyper was called
up, replacing Joe McAllen at centre-forward, McAllen in turn, went
inside-left, moving Alf Kearns to the vacant outside-left position. Jack and Jim Pyper
are brothers. |

Match Report |
In arranging for the annual match
with England to be played at Dublin the Irish Association made quite a
new departure, all Ireland's home international games having, until
Saturday, been decided at Belfast. The experiment was a distinct
success, the Lansdowne-road ground being visited by 7,000 or 8,000
people, who demonstrated very clearly their appreciation of the play.
With the weather fine, if rather cold, and the turf in good order, the
conditions were all in favour of a bright and interesting struggle. To
some extent expectations were more than realized. Ireland had never
beaten England at the Association game, and the matches with Wales and
Scotland this season having both been lost it was not to be anticipated
that the Irishmen would break their run of ill-success on Saturday. At
the same time, Ireland's representatives, badly as they have fared in
out matches, have of late years, when playing at home, generally been
able to make a fair fight with England. Defeat was on Saturday once more
their portion, the Englishmen winning by two goals to none, but it would
be absurd to pretend that this score represented the merits of the game.
As a matter of fact, play was more often in the English half than in
that of the Irishmen, and Robinson had probably twice as many shots to
stop as Reilly, the Irish goalkeeper. The Englishmen, however, were the
quicker to settle down, and before the match had been in progress a
quarter of an hour they had obtained their two goals. The first score
came rather luckily, Cochrane, in an attempt to stop a shot from
Johnson, merely turning the ball into the net and out of Reilly's reach.
The second point was gained by Sagar, but the credit of it belonged
mainly to G. O. Smith, who had dribbled half-way down the field and gave
the ball to Sagar just at the moment the Bury man had a favourable
opening...
With better combination between
Sheehan, Campbell, and James Pyper, Ireland would no doubt have made a
draw and might possibly have won.
