International football competition

The1952–53British Home Championship was afootball tournament played between the BritishHome Nations throughout the 1952–53 season. The tournament saw a last minute goal byLawrie Reilly in the final game atWembley which salvaged a draw and thus a share in the trophy forScotland.England were the other winners whilst bothWales andIreland played well in a very competitive competition.

England began with a draw against a combative Irish team in a game which finished 2–2. The Scots however were able to narrowly beat Wales inCardiff, taking the lead after the first round. In the second games, Scotland and Ireland played another score draw, keeping both sides tournament hopes alive, albeit behind England, who comprehensively beat Wales in their game. The final matches saw a battling Wales side defeat the Irish inBelfast, ending Ireland's lively hopes for the trophy and gaining some pride in the two points necessary to match Ireland. England and Scotland played out the final match knowing that the winner would take the trophy, but that a draw would share it between them asgoal difference was not yet used to determine position. A very hotly contested game looked to be going England's way until the 90th minute when Reilly's late goal, his second of the game, gave half the trophy to Scotland.
