    Match Report

England beat Wales at Cardiff yesterday by one goal to none. On the whole the victory was deserved, but the Welshmen put up a splendid fight. The weather was very fine and the ground in excellent condition, and there were nearly 20,000 spectators...

From first to last the match was played at a great pace. - The Times - Tuesday 15th March, 1910

IN OTHER NEWS...

It was on 14 March 1910 that the inquest opened into the Clydach Vale flood disaster of three days earlier in the Rhondda Valley, when a torrent of water, collecting mud and rubble on its way, had surged down a mountainside into the village, demolishing eleven houses and a shop, before hitting the local school. One woman and five children were killed and it was only the good fortune that it coincided with miners passing the school at the end of their shift that they were able to quickly react and help save the lives of over 950 children. It was discovered that a dam at the mouth of a disused colliery level had burst.
