The Penny Illustrated Paper & Illustrated Times of 30th December 1893 included the following comment:-

"A Llanelly Artist"

"has been kind enough to send to the P.I.P. the accompanying sketch-portraits, as souvenirs of the recent Oxford University match at Newport. Other subscribers may feel inclined to follow his example during the new year."

The same edition also reported the team selections for the forthcoming England v Wales international at Birkenhead Park on 6th January: the Wales team listed as including A. J. Gould, P. Phillips, A. W. Boucher, T. C. Graham and J. Hannen of Newport.
