The 1934β35 British Home Championship was a football tournament played between the British Home Nations during the 1934β35 season. Scotland and England shared the trophy after a dramatic final match in which the Scots beat England to claim a share of the cup after having seemingly come adrift following their early defeat to Ireland.
It was England and Ireland who began strongest, England thumping the trophy-holders Wales 4β0 in Cardiff whilst the Irish defeated the Scots in Belfast 2β1. Scotland recovered in the second game, beating Wales 3β2 at home to reenter the race for the tournament as England beat Ireland in a close game in Liverpool to become favourites. In the final matches, Ireland failed to take the necessary points from Wales to push for a joint top spot, falling 3β1 in Wrexham; Peco Bauwens became the first foreigner to referee a match in the tournament. [1] The Scots and the English played in Glasgow, knowing that a draw for the English would be enough to secure them an undisputed victory. This was not to be as by dint of great effort, the Scottish team overcame their Southern rivals 2β0. As goal difference was not at this stage used to separate teams in the British Home Championship, the honours were shared by England and Scotland, whilst Ireland and Wales shared third place.
