    Match Report

England at Cardiff yesterday followed up their victory over Ireland at Belfast by beating Wales. The margin in favour of the winners was limited to a single goal, which was scored within five minutes of the finish ; and as the Welshmen lost the services of A. T. Jones, one of their backs, 20 minutes from the start, the success of the Englishmen was not of a description calculated to arouse much enthusiasm. Wales, indeed, deserved to draw, but the luck went against them. Apart from a rather fresh breeze the weather yesterday was extremely pleasant, and the ground was in excellent condition...

A draw seemed assured, when Houlker got the ball away from Green, dribbled some yards, and passed up to Common, who sent the ball over to Day. The last-named player was in his stride in a moment, and, eluding Blew, he shot at close range into the net well clear of Roose. - The Times - Tuesday 20th March, 1906
