WALES V. IRELAND. The first international match ever played at Aberdare was decided at that town to- I day, the competing teams being representa- tive of Wales and Ireland, and the code be- ing the dribbling one. This was the first time, indeed, foi a.ny game ot the kind to be played outside the big towns of South Wales, and as a consecfiience much interest was created in the immediate districts. It was most unfortunaie that several very inv pc;i tant changes had to be made in the clsh team. The captain of tr" side was to have been Lot Jones, the Manchester ("ity piayn. but ho nw unable to make the jour- re; Row. the great g<v>lkeeper, was re- r|uired to assist Sunderland, whilst the other absentees included C. Morris, W. "Tinker" Davies, A. G. Morris, a.nd R. Evan.°. Thus there were only fomrof the original'y selected side able to turn out. They wore Blew, Parry, Peake. and Meredith. The Irish- men. on the other hand, had a. strong side, the half-back line being considered one of I the strongest of the season. Both 1 teams had lost a couple of matches this sea- eon- The teams lined out as follows: — I IRELAND- Goal, Scott (Ev-rton, backs, Craig (Glasgow Rangers (captain 1 and Mc- Cartney (Belfast, Celtic) half-backs, Darling (Lir.gfiekl), Harris (She!bourne), and *Mc- Connell fSiunderland) forwards, Hunter (Belfast Celtic), Hamilton (Distillery), bl. A. Sloan (Bohemians), O'Hagan (Aberdeen), and Buckle (Bristol City). I WALES.—Goal, R. 0. Evans (Blackburn Roverp); backs, -leffrey Jone^ (Liandrindod Wells), and Horace Blew (Wrexham) ha it- backs, M. Parry (Liverpool). K Peake (Abeiystwyt-h), and Haydn Price (Aston Villa) right wing, W. Meredith (Manchej= ter ITnited) and R. Morris (Plymouth Ar- gvle) left. wing. T. D. Jones ( Aberdare) and H- Hodgkinson (So«it.hampton) centre, Mark Watkins (Stoke). Referee: Mr. J. T. Tbbotson (Derby). WIk' the gw7r>e began there were 10.000 on the ground, and the Irishmen, in bright, hit-' and white, were cheered on 'heir arrivfll. The Welshmen were captained by M^rk Lewis, and followed sorrn after, to the accjooiipqniment of cheers. Ireland won the toes, but this was no advantage, as the ground wap perfectly flat, a.nd there was no wind- Watkins kicked off, but the ball •was f.oon borne to the Welsh quarters. From a. mis-kick by the Welsh back Sloan scored. HALF-TIME SCORE IRELAND- 1 goal. W ALES.-Nil.. The second half opened tamely, and Meredith was forced into touch. Tricky work between Morris awl Meredith left Parry in possession. The Welsh bombarded the goal, but, the defence -• too good. Be- fore long the Blues ciin attacked, and Har^'lton flashed in a beautiful long kick, whkh Evans, hcn.vevc-r, saved. Tiie final was then whistled. FINAL SCORE IRELAND- goal. WALES-Nil.
