Wales

 

Wales. By now outside the regular ranking of UEFA – points were still calculated and by them Wales should have been 21^st – ahead of Poland and Bulgaria! - but since the Welsh Federation participated only in the Cup Winners Cup, there was no point of ranking which meaning was largely to determine the number of teams a country will have in the UEFA Cup. So, as ever before, the Welsh Cup final: Wrexham (Wales) – Hereford United (England). As many times before, the English club prevailed; 2-1 Hereford and there was one more name added to the list of winners.

Currently playing in the IV Division of England, Hereford United got success in Wales. At last – they played at three Welsh Cup finals before and lost every one. This time they won. It was great, but the winners were not going to play in the Cup Winners Cup – precisely because they were not Welsh club.
