Date of creation, length of article and hook are fine. I accept the hook reference in good faith as I could not find the match report in the Glasgow Herald. It was certainly a snowy day, as indicated by the other references. I gave the article a few tweaks. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:40, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- I forgot about the image. It is not mentioned by (pictured) in the hook. And is it really relevant? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:45, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- The hook reference can be found on page 12, column 2 at the end of the first paragraph of the match report. Though I have to admit it's not the easiest thing to read. Image is relevant as that is the winning team with the trophy, I doubt that there are any photographs of the match available. yorkshiresky (talk) 00:23, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
