1902–03 British Home Championship
In addition to the usual favourites of England and Scotland, Ireland also took their first ever share of the championship, after scoring their first ever victory over the Scots with a 2–0 win in Glasgow and subsequently beating Wales.The tournament was played under the shadow of the previous year's finale, when a wooden stand at Ibrox Stadium had given way under the mass of supporters and 26 people had fallen to their deaths.Ireland and England began the competition, with the English scoring four without reply to take an early lead.On the back of this result, Ireland beat Wales 2–0 ending a miserable tournament for the Welsh who had scored only one goal and failed to gain a single point.In a tough match in Sheffield both sides played well, but Scotland eventually won 2–1 taking their share of the title.
