From the match programme:-

"The Visitors. - The "Usksiders" are visitors at Stradey this afternoon. Always an attractive side, they will be welcomed, doubtlessly, by a very large crowd of home supporters. Earlier in the season, the "Scarlets" forced a very good draw at Newport, both sides failing to score. On that form, and having regard to recent good performances, the home side should record yet another victory. Bright and open play must, however, be the order of the day and, with that end in view, to both sides we wish "happy handling"."

"Congratulations. - Both sides to-day have players selected for the second Welsh Trial, on 14th December. The home side have seven. Congratulations to all concerned, and good luck for the stiffer grade that follows. On the day of the Trial, the "Scarlets" play Neath, away. With seven absentees, Llanelly will be below strength. This, of course, to a lesser degree, also applies to Neath. Question : should trials take place on Saturday?"
