This international association match took place at Wrexham on Saturday, in the presence of a great number of spectators. The weather was fine, and the ground in fair condition. Wales set the leather rolling, but Cotterill seized and brought it towards the goal, Powell saving in fine style, and giving the first of a series of proofs that Wales was stronger in the back division. Another try to lower England's colours was made, but Toone was too quick, and presently hands was given to Wales, when Cotterill seized the ball and put it across, and from this shot it was put through, and the first goal was scored for England. After the kick-off the ball was taken towards the English goal, but was soon got away. W. Owen and W. Lewis took a smart run down, but then failed to act together, and lost a good opportunity of scoring. Lewis made another effort to lower the enemy's flag, but a foul was the only result, and from this there came nothing. Schofield showed his nimbleness about this time, and tried to pass Powell, who resented the proposal, and checking the swift Stoke man, sent away the ball into safe quarters. From this time play was very general in character. The Welsh goal was visited, but Mills-Roberts proved very efficient, and when the compliment was returned Toone, when his services were required, proved true. Half-time was then called, leaving England with the only goal scored.
Resuming play W. Lewis made a fine run, and after it was replied Jenkins showed some capital play. Schofield, who received the ball from the backs, made a beautiful run down, but failed to gain anything. B. Lewis tried one of his runs, but he was not any more successful than Schofield, who tried again with the like result. The Welsh team made several lively attacks upon their opponents' citadel, which was in danger more than once. The play was lively for a short time, but presently it fell into its old styles, there was much running from end to end of the field, but neither side showed anything worth noting. Henfrey made a very fine shot, which did not score, and W. Lewis was fouled by Dunn in a dangerous attempt. Presently Henfrey shot in and scored.
