  • "There was a large " -there were, you sound like David Beckham!
  • "With only a few minutes remaining on the clock, Cardiff won a corner kick and from the cross, Len Davies tapped the ball into the net to put them ahead. " -needs an "and" here

@Dr. Blofeld: Thanks for reviewing! - I've made those edits; I've reduced the "buts" by about two thirds overall. I double checked the Football WikiProject's MOS for matches at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Matches and realised that "Post match" should have been "Post-match".
