team notes: |
Dr. Robert Mills Roberts was appointed quarry surgeon at Dinorwic
Hospital, north Wales in November 1890, and Mills Roberts relocated
himself to Llanberis, where he established a new local club, for which
he occasionally played for. But had not done so for a while prior to
his selection in this match. Bob and Joe Davies, also Billy and Jack Owen,
are brothers. Joe Turner's brother, Dick, played in the previous
fixture between the two teams. Ben Lewis and Joby Wilding are brothers-in-law. |

Match Report
Sheffield Independent, Monday,
7 March 1892 |
This
international association match took place at Wrexham on Saturday, in the
presence of a great number of spectators. The weather was fine, and the
ground in fair condition. Wales set the leather rolling, but Cotterill
seized and brought it towards the goal, Powell saving in fine style, and
giving the first of a series of proofs that Wales was stronger in the back
division. Another try to lower England's colours was made, but Toone was
too quick, and presently hands was given to Wales, when Cotterill seized
the ball and put it across, and from this shot it was put through, and the
first goal was scored for England. After the kick-off the ball was taken
towards the English goal, but was soon got away. W. Owen and W. Lewis took
a smart run down, but then failed to act together, and lost a good
opportunity of scoring. Lewis made another effort to lower the enemy's
flag, but a foul was the only result, and from this there came nothing.
Schofield showed his nimbleness about this time, and tried to pass Powell,
who resented the proposal, and checking the swift Stoke man, sent away the
ball into safe quarters. From this time play was very general in
character. The Welsh goal was visited, but Mills-Roberts proved very
efficient, and when the compliment was returned Toone, when his services
were required, proved true. Half-time was then called, leaving England
with the only goal scored.
Resuming play W. Lewis made a fine run, and
after it was replied Jenkins showed some capital play. Schofield, who
received the ball from the backs, made a beautiful run down, but failed to
gain anything. B. Lewis tried one of his runs, but he was not any more
successful than Schofield, who tried again with the like result. The Welsh
team made several lively attacks upon their opponents' citadel, which was
in danger more than once. The play was lively for a short time, but
presently it fell into its old styles, there was much running from end to
end of the field, but neither side showed anything worth noting. Henfrey
made a very fine shot, which did not score, and W. Lewis was fouled by
Dunn in a dangerous attempt. Presently Henfrey shot in and scored.

Match Report
The Times, Monday,
7 March 1892 |
At Wrexham, there was a numerous
company to witness the match between these elevens...
At length Cotterill, who had
previously run the ball close up to the posts, once more got in
possession of it and registered the first goal for the visitors...
...Henfrey then passed the ball
to Gosling, who kicked it against one of the posts ; but Sandilands
immediately afterwards sent it under the crossbar... |
|
|
In Other News....
England gained revenge for
the previous year's Calcutta Cup defeat to beat Scotland 5-0 at Raeburn
Place in Edinburgh and win the rugby union 'Triple Crown' without conceding
a single point in the championship, a feat that has never been equalled. |
|
It was on 5 March 1892 that the
inquest into the Cleckheaton Chimney Disaster of the previous week was
resumed. A 150-foot Yorkshire flannel manufacturer's mill chimney which
had been visibly deteriorating was undergoing repairs when it collapsed
onto the workplace, killing 15 people. The verdict, three weeks later,
was that it was an accident, but the owners should not have let the
chimney get into such a terrible state. |
