Match Report |
  England
beat Ireland in a thoroughly interesting match at Stoke-on-Trent
yesterday by three goals to one. On the day's play Ireland were
unfortunate to lose...It
was appropriate that Britton should open the way with the first goal,
which came after 30 minutes. He beat his man, took the ball up, and
pushed it out to Worrall. Worrall centred, Steele met the ball with his
head, and Breen was beaten. Two minutes from half-time Ireland
equalized. Brown threw the ball in from the touch-line, Stevenson got
it, worked it to the goal-line, and then, with Holdcroft on the ground,
hooked it back for Davis to shoot into an empty net...
...England's attack became more
and more menacing and after 22 minutes they scored again. Steele veered
out to the left wing and crossed the ball back to Bastin, whose shot hit
the inside of the far goal-post and rebounded into the net. England were
now on top of their form, and eight minutes later a centre by Johnson
found the Irish defence out of position and Worrall right in front of
goal.
Ireland had lost the game, but
so far as pure football is concerned they had shared the honours of a
splendid match. - The Times -

IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 18 November 1936 that, amidst the fighting in Madrid in
the Spanish Civil War, Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy
simultaneously recognised General Franco as the new leader of Spain, but
the war would drag on for another three years before Franco could claim
victory.
