The final of the inaugural Welsh Cup tournament was played at
Acton Park,
Wrexham on 30 March 1878 between
Wrexham and
Druids of
Ruabon. The pitch was donated by Sir R. A. Cunliffe, and was a roped off portion of land measuring 120 yards by 76. Entrance was gained via
Rhosnessney Lodge[2] with sixpence being charged for admission.[1] The match was a cliffhanger, with no score until the Wrexham forwards charged the Druids' defenders to take the ball over the line to win the game in the final minute, with
James Davies being credited with the goal.[3][4]
