Wales v Ireland (1953, Mar 14th) Good Copy

Details Reviews Specifications

Programme for the Five Nations match match held between Wales and Ireland, at the St Helens Ground (Swansea) on Saturday March 14th, 1953; programme is in fair condition for its age, but does have a 'pocket' crease from top to bottom; bizarrely, the Welsh were playing at home, but have put the Irish first on the front page, and on the centre-fold where the teams are listed - they also had their players listed in reverse order, with the full-back at number 1; Wales ran out the winners in a low-scoring game by five points to three. You can even see some of the match thanks to Pathe News!
