 The game was a high scoring affair with Ireland losing 4–8, with all four Ireland goals coming from the future manager Peter Doherty.The performance of Doherty was such that the match commentator, Maurice Edelston, stated "He was almost a one-man team – and if Ireland had two Dohertys that day, I shudder to think what might have happened".In 1946, when the Home Nations resumed official internationals, the IFA-FAI split was highlighted as England played both teams in the same week.
