Match Report |
 BUCHAREST,
May 24.--England concluded their football tour of the Continent by
beating Rumania by two goals to none at the A.N.E.F. stadium this
evening. England monopolized the play to such an extent that many of
their movements carried them down the field without a Rumanian
touching the ball.
England lost the toss and, although playing
into the strong wind which was blowing almost directly down the
ground, soon made headway. They showed much surer footwork and better
positional play than the Rumanians...
It was not long
afterwards when Goulden, dashing through, easily placed the ball past
Pavlovici from five yards and put England one up...
It was not
surprising when the Rumanian defence cracked under the strain. The
second half was only eight minutes old when Welsh headed through from
a well-placed pass by Broome...--Reuter.
- The Times -
Thursday 25th May, 1939
IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 23 May 1939 that 16-year-old Kenneth Derfel was remanded at
Manchester City Juvenile Court on the charge of murdering a
five-year-old girl, Patricia Carney in Wythenshawe, three months
earlier. After sexually assaulting two other girls, he abducted
Patricia, but then strangled her when she started screaming. He was
found guilty, two months later, and sentenced to be detained at His
Majesty's pleasure.
