From the match programme:-
"Further proof of the greatness of this season's Newport side is surely further evidenced by the results of matches played since the unbeaten record was surrendered to the Harlequins on March 17th. Despite this defeat and disorganisation of the team through injury, the spirit and winning style of play have continued and recent victories, particularly over the Barbarians and at Neath have been most noteworthy."
"To-day's match, with Llanelly as visitors, promises to provide a lively, well-contested game, and it should be excellent football. Newport had one of their hardest games of the season and a narrow victory of 8 points to 6 at Stradey Park on December 23rd. Llanelly will be all out to avenge that defeat, and a large body of Supporters are travelling with them to give encouragement to their efforts."
"Each side has two players in the Welsh Team playing in the season's last International in Paris this afternoon. Gerwyn William and Peter Evans will, therefore, be absent from the Llanelly side while Newport, of course, will be without Ken Jones and R. T. Evans. In addition Newport provide Ben Edwards and W. A. Williams as reserves."
"Newport have, nevertheless, selected a strong side, with A. G. Stephens in the centre, Wynford Davies at inside-half and S. Kimpton and G. Keeley in the forwards, substituting for the players in Paris."
"To-day's match was originally scheduled as the last home game of the season. On Thursday evening next, however, Swansea will be at Newport to play the fixture postponed through an unfit ground on December 16th. The kick-off will be at 5.30 p.m. And in the last game of the season, on April 28th, the venue of the Cross Keys fixture has been altered, so that this match will now be played at Newport."
"SUPPORTERS CLUB NEWS"
"On Saturday next, large numbers of Supporters will be travelling to Gloucester to give vocal support in what should be one of our most difficult matches."
"Contrary to general belief this is not an all-ticket match, although tickets are available for certain parts of the ground."
"British Railways are running a Football Special, leaving Newport at 1.15 p.m. Arrangements are made for various times of return. Fare 5/9."
"A coach trip will also be arranged and bookings should be made immediately after to-day's game, at the Bowls Pavilion."
"This coach will be staying in Gloucester for the evening, because we are being entertained by the Gloucester Rugby Supporters' Club after the match."
"On Thursday next, members of the Team and Supporters' Club, have been invited to a Social Evening at the Transport Club. This is after the Swansea match and any member who wishes to attend can do so and be assured of a good evening's entertainment."
