Banks, of Huddersfield, scored a try which Walkington converted, and Ellaby's unconverted try gave England the lend. Risman's try for Wales and Sullivan's goal regained the lead for Wales. but in a few minutes trica by Ellaby and Dingsdale and one re-conversion by Walkington definitely

England's forwards get the ball quite as often as their opponents, but Wales had the more enterprising backs, and it was only in the last ten minutes of the game victory that England gained a which was rather against the run of the play.
