Description
An estimated crowd of nearly 40,000 witnessed this memorable boxing day victory over Australia by 6 points to nil, Swanseas 1st victory over a major touring team. Swanseas points came from an Edgar Morgan try and a Jack Bancroft penalty. The game produced gate receipts of £2,100, which at the time represented a Welsh record. The Swansea team on that memorable occasion was : J Bancroft, WJ Trew (captain), P Hopkins, H Toft, H Thomas, R Jones, RM Owen, DJ Thomas, H Hunt, I Morgan, E Morgan, G Hayward, I Williams, D Griffiths, D Davies. The invincible (1904/05 season) skipper Frank Genny Gordon was the Swansea touch-judge that day.
