"CARDIFF'S GREAT MEN."
"Cardiff are a bigger attraction than any other Club in the Kingdom at Newport, especially now that Cliff Jones and Wooller are back in the side, and to-day we hope to see a thrilling game worthy to rank with the best of recent years, some of which have reached a high standard."
Long-striding Wooller and tricky Cliff Jones are box-office attractions in themselves, but we must not forget that even before they returned, Cardiff had a brilliant side, and had won all their previous games when Newport beat them at the Arms Park early in October by 1 p.g., 1 try, 6pts. to 1 goals, 5pts."
"Judging by Wooller's form on his first game this season against Bristol, the long sojourn in a hot climate has had no adverse effect, and Cliff Jones' cleverness and daring in last Saturday's Welsh Trial was sufficient guarantee that he has completely recovered from his injury."
"It is worth recalling that Wooller played a dominating role in Newport-Cardiff games last season, and scored in each - a dropped goal in the first, which Cardiff won by 9pts. to 6, a try and a conversion in the second, which Cardiff won by llpts. to nil, a try in the third, which Newport won by 8pts. to three, and two dropped goals in the fourth which Cardiff won by llpts. to nil."
"Newport still have a lead of victories of the 208 played, Newport have won 88, Cardiff 85. with 35 left drawn."
