Dick Rowley - International Career

International Career

In the years between 1929 and 1931, he won six caps for Ireland, scoring two goals against Scotland and Wales.

His international debut came in a British Home Championship match against Wales on 2 February 1929 with his first international goal coming three weeks later when he was one of the few Irish players to emerge with any credit from a 7–3 defeat by Scotland. (Some sources credit Ireland's first goal to Rowley, but the match report confirms that this was scored by Joe Bambrick.)

His finest international performance came on 1 February 1930, against Wales at Belfast's Celtic Park, when his passes helped Bambrick score a double hat-trick in a 7–0 victory.
