Match Report |
WALES DRAW LEVEL
IN LAST MINUTE
The
International match between Wales and England resulted at Cardiff
yesterday in a drawn game, each side having scored two goals. The game
looked like ending in a victory for England, but in the closing moments
of a thoroughly interesting match, Wales saved themselves...
At the end of 17
minutes' play there came a surprise goal. I. Jones dribbled to the left,
and, being tackled, sent the ball across to Keenor, who with a long shot
scored for Wales, the ball swerving away from Taylor as he moved to meet
it...
...although Wales
seemed the faster side England equalized after 36 minutes' play, when
Grimsdell gave Williams a good pass, that enabled Chambers to put the
ball into goal...
The second half
had only lasted three minutes when England were in front. Wilson passed
hard forward and Watson, following up, charged down Parry's kick and
dribbled on to shoot past Peers...
Ten minutes from
the finish Carr was injured and went off the field, and in one great
final effort in the last few seconds of the game I. Jones, with a low
shot, sent the ball through, after Taylor had saved, and so enabled
Wales to secure a draw.
