January 28, 1928
Key note: “Heavy rain had reduced the Cardiff ground to such a terribly bad condition that at one time it was doubtful whether it would be possible to play the tie between Cardiff City and Liverpool. All turned out well, however, and, to the great delight of a large crowd, Cardiff, the Cup-holders, passed on the fifth round by winning a keen game by 2 goals to 1.” (Daily Herald: January 30, 1928)
