This website has it down as an unofficial international, wonder if that has anything to do with it?

It would also predate our first official game against a non British Isles team by more than 40 years. |
Thanks CABW, I hadnt seen that unofficial international games page.
I know that the Canadian team later went down to play South Wales in Cardiff after John Taylor- secretary to WFA wrote to the Cardiff Association.
I can only presume that as Canada was not part of the Home International pact, they were not deemed to be an official national club, and I presume at that time, true international matches against non British countries had really not really been thought of much due to cost, as there is a lot in the newspapers at that time about trying to find money for international matches.
