  1. #1

    1956-57 FA Cup, Wales' best collective effort?

    First Round (3 out of 3 )
    Walsall 0 - 1 Newport
    Wrexham 2 - 1 Crewe (replay)
    Rhyl 3 - 2 Scarborough

    Second Round (3 out of 3)
    Gillingham 1 - 2 Newport
    Rhyl 3 - 1 Bishop Auckland
    Wrexham 6 - 2 Scunthorpe & Lindsey United (replay)

    Third Round (4 out of 5)
    Notts County (equivalent of Championship) 1 - 3 Rhyl
    Wolves 5 - 3 Swansea
    Reading 1 - 2 Wrexham (Replay)
    Southampton 0 - 1 Newport (Replay)
    Leeds 1 - 2 Cardiff

    Fourth Round (4 Welsh teams, all knocked out)
    Bristol City 3 - 0 Rhyl
    Wrexham 0 - 5 Manchester United (34,445)
    Cardiff 0 - 1 Barnsley
    Newport 0 - 2 Arsenal (22,450)

    Not sure Wales has ever had that many teams so late in the competition. Fantastic efforts from Rhyl and Newport.
