WELSH TEAM WAS BEATEN

·

EVEN BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL BEGAN

BY PETER DITTON

Welshmen the world over who have been mourning the defeat of Wales at the hands of England in the Soccer International at Ninian Park, Cardiff, recently, may be interested in the following little story. Before the big match was played the Welsh selectors decided to give their team a try-out by playing a trial game against Cardiff City, the Second Division club on whose ground the International took place. Car- diff had supplied two players to the Welsh XI and both of them turned out for Wales against their club. The match was limited to thirty minutes each way and at the end of the game Cardiff had triumphed by 3 goals to nil.

the

Naturally Cardiff manager Cyril Spiers had something to say about the con- struction of the Welsh X1 after seeing the performance of his own team and he told Cardiff me that at a risk of being called prejudiced he would have included four players in the Welsh defence instead of the one, Sherwood, who did play. His team would have read something like Sidlow (Liverpool); Sttfall and Sherwood (Cardif City); Hollyman (Cardiff), T. G. Jones (Everton) and Baker (Cardiff); and rest of the Welsh forward line as the Selectors chose it with George Edwards, another Cardiff player, occupying his normal position on the left-wing.

flavour about the team as There certainly seems to be a decided Kardiff' ruvienged by Spiers, but as the CarliT team bent the Welsh X1 by three gonis to all. his choice may not be considered such a matter of prejudice as good judgment.

STILL AS GOOD AS EVER

The All Whites

Are

75 Years Old

By PETER LOVEGROVE

Swansea falled to score at St. Helen's for the first time this season, and lost their 100 percent record in the one match they were keenest to win. For it wa one of the great occasions in the long history of the famous Welsh club and of a playing field which has few superiors in the world. 11 was the "birthday match" to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the formation of the “All Whites" and the assumption of the joint tenancy of St. Helen's by the rugby and erickol sections of the club.

*

The honour of being the Grst to lower the Swansea colotes was gained by ankle worthy of the occasion, a composite XV brought by RAF Selector Wing- Conmander Walker It included no less than nine Internationals, and the other six were either Trials and County players or had represented one of the Services, Swansea did not disgrace themselves against such formidable opposition, and lost
