Match Report |
ENGLAND OUTPLAY WALES
In the first International
match of the season at Cardiff on Saturday the holders of the
Championship, Wales, were well beaten by England, who scored four goals
without reply. This convincing margin in no way conveyed a false idea of
England's superiority, Wales, although playing up gallantly, being
outplayed...
Bowden put up a nice pass to
Tilson, whose shot gave John no chance...
Then just after half an hour's
play came England's second goal. Britton put in a long kick towards
goal, John dropped the ball, and Brook was up to kick it into the net.
Hibbs had a nasty experience when a hard shot from Evans hit him in the
face, but then he had the good luck to see Evans blunder with a penalty.
The Welsh outside-left shot hard enough, but the ball went just the
wrong side of the post...
Bowden passed up to Matthews,
who found an opening very cleverly and his shot completely beat John...
...five minutes from the end a
pass by Westwood produced an opening for Tilson to get his second
goal...
Notwithstanding the wet weather
there were 51,000 people present.

 Source Notes |
"On Wednesday [26 September 1934],
the Welsh FA Secretary, Mr. T. Robbins, asked his English counterparts to
release Willie Hall, the Tottenham Hotspur player, from his duties as an
England traveling reserve so that Tottenham would allow Evans to play at
outside-left for Wales. Tottenham had previously promised to release Evans
if Hall was available for their League match. Early yesterday, there was a
hurried consultation between English officials and members of the
International Selection Committee, and it was decided to release Hall and
call upon Billy Furness, Leeds United, to act as reserve. Leeds, however,
have several inside-forwards injured, and their request that Furness
should not be taken was granted. Jimmy Cunliffe, the Everton inside-right,
was then chosen as England's reserve."
According to the grandson of Cambridge University's
Harry Rose,
his grandfather was a reserve for this match. There is no contemporary
evidence to support this. But we have made a note, regardless.
