Match Report |
DIFFICULT
CONDITIONS
England
beat Ireland in the fiftieth match between the two countries in Belfast
on Saturday by three goals to one.
A bitterly
cold and blustering wind blew across the pitch all the time ; and it
says much for the players on both sides that they overcame the
conditions sufficiently to play fast and keen football for 90 minutes.
Ireland, individually, looked to be the better side, and with the wind
in their favour in the first half they should have built up a lead big
enough to have won the match. Their forwards, however, wasted many easy
chances of scoring because they insisted upon taking the ball too close
to goal before shooting...
...England
beat off these early attacks and held out until Brown scored after a
shot by Jones had struck one of the uprights...
Tilson, in
scoring the equalizing goal 21 minutes after change of ends, snapped up
a pass and, beating Jones, placed the ball well away from Scott. Three
minutes later Tilson shot through again, and just before the finish
Brook obtained the goal he richly deserved.

"There was to be no
broadcast of this international match. The Irish Football Association
had agreed to allow a broadcast of the second half for the payment of
twenty guineas, but this offer had been refused by the Broadcasting
Corporation."
