CARDIFF
FEBRUARY 18
ENGLAND, who beat Wales 7-5 at Tamworth last month, repeated the scoreline at the Sport Wales National Centre. But the locals can be proud of their performance against a team strengthened by the inclusion of no fewer than three European champions.
Yet it needed victory by a comparative unknown over Wales’s own newly introduced star to make sure of the visitors’ success.
, a surprise Commonwealth bronze medallist at 18 in Birmingham last summer, would earn Wales a draw if he saw off in the final bout of the afternoon. But the Hoddesdon bantam, eight months younger than his Cardiffian rival, was up to the task, finishing clearly in control to win unanimously after three exciting rounds.
