"[Wales] took the lead after twenty-two minutes of play. Hole played an important part in the successful movement but it was Lewis who scored, the centre shooting so quickly after Tremelling had punched out a shot that the spectators hardly had time to realise his chance before it had been taken."Wilf Lewis, 22'
"Five minutes from the interval [England] had another blow. The ball was centred from the Welsh right, and Hill perstered by the attention of Lewis tried a back-header to his goalkeeper. Tremelling however, had rushed forward and Hill turned round to see the ball slowly rolling into the net."Jack Hill, 40' (og)

England GoalSome sources state that England's goal was scored by Louis Page direct from a corner kick "Eleven minutes from time Gray tried to punch away a corner kick taken by Page. He missed, and the ball entered the net." The Guardian blamed the Welsh Keeper "Gray seemed to help them by turning a corner kick by Page into the net." Other sources say it struck Fred Keenor before it went in.
