30 years after the Football Association arranged their first overseas tour, The Welsh FA followed their example. A 15 match tour of Canada was undertaken in the summer of 1929. Of the 20 players who toured 18 would achieve full international honours.
Len Evans of Barry Town (Southern league- Western Division) was the only player not currently playing in the Football League, though he had previous League experience at Aberdare Athletic and Merthyr Town and had represented Wales 4 times.
The absence of Swansea Town players can be explained by the fact that the Swans only had a handful of Welshmen in their first team. Only one Swansea player was awarded a Welsh cap in the seasons 1928-29 and 1929-30.
