They had played a match at the Mardyke in Cork the day before this photo was taken, and there's a very scathing report on the play in the Freeman's Journal: "The match between Aberavon (Wales) and Cork County was played yesterday on the Mardyke grounds. The game right through was very rough, and presented no brilliant features whatever. Result: Aberavon - 1 try; Cork - Nil." Not sure where this photo was taken, but most probably at some sports ground in Waterford. As usual, any and all suggestions will be entertained...
