From the match programme:-

"NOTES"

"With injuries and illness still dogging the Gloucester team, we face one of the big three of Welsh Football whose record to date shows the strength of their performances - P 33, W21, D 4, L 8. Points for 299, against 174."

"The two previous matches at Kingsholm have resulted in wins for Gloucester by 6 - 3 (48/9), and 7 - 3 (47/8). In 1946/7 the match was transferred to Newport owing to flooding at Kingsholm."

"Musical Selections by the Cinderford  Town  Silver Prize  Band"

"By the kindness of the R.A.F. Station Commander the collection at the R.A.F. Match has been donated to GLOUCESTER RUGBY MEMORIAL FUND. Your purchase of a Programme regularly also helps this Fund along."
