"Lively forwards rout 'B' team — FRANCE 7 ENGLAND 1
"LE HAVRE. Thursday.—France Espoir (French Hopefuls) gave England's "B" team a severe drubbing here tonight and with a little luck might have had more goals to show for their superiority. By clever, precise and swiftly made passes they bewildered the England defenders who were often drawn out of position.
"Taking advantage of bad marking and weak covering, the French team established a clear superiority before half-time when they were three goals ahead. In each instance the scorer was in an unmarked position and Gregory in the England goal found himself in difficulties against the sharp-shooting French forwards.
"France continued their hard attacking game in the second half. Their fourth goal came direct from a free kick and the other three followed at regular intervals. England had a few periods of attack, but their forwards were not clever enough to penetrate a sound defence and their goal scorer was Barlow, the half-back, whose goal came between France's fourth and fifth." - Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer
