For the first time since the institution of association matches between England and Ireland the Irishmen on Saturday succeeded in escaping defeat in England, the match at Middlesbrough ending in a draw of one goal all. There was every reason to expect that the English team would gain another victory, as owing to lameness O'Hagan was unable to play for Ireland, and thus a rearrangement of the forward line was necessary on the morning of the match...
The first half passed by without any score, but both points were scored immediately after the interval. Ireland's goal came from a corner taken by Kirwan. The ball was well placed, but Williamson should have cleared without difficulty. Instead of so doing he did not hold the ball at the first attempt, and in turning to gather it he stepped just over his own line, and so enabled the visitors to score through a bad error of judgment on his part. Directly afterwards Bloomer, profiting by a blunder on the part of McCartney, slipped by the Irish back, and at short range equalized with a shot which Scott had no chance of stopping...
Just at the finish Booth, meeting with an injury, had to be carried off the field.
