where they were defeated 2–0 by Wrexham. In November 1898, Everton played a match at Newtown for the benefit of Parry; the match ended in a 5–1 victory for the visitors with Wilfred Oldham scoring a hat-trick. In 1899, Parry joined Aberystwyth Town; during his season there, he again reached the Welsh Cup Final, defeating Druids 3–0 to take the trophy. Parry returned to his home town, Oswestry, in 1900 where Oswestry United were in need of a goalkeeper. Parry became their "custodian" and "performed creditably" over the next six years before eventually retiring in 1906. In April 1904, Parry was again the beneficiary of a testimonial match when Liverpool visited Park Hall to play Oswestry Town. The visitors won the match 4–0, with two goals from John Carlin. International career Parry made his international debut for Wales, playing at left half in the 1891 British Home Championship match against England played at Newcastle Road, Sunderland on 7 March 1891, thus becoming the first Everton player to represent Wales. England won the match 4–1, with two of England's goals coming from Parry's Everton team-mates, Edgar Chadwick and Alf Milward. He kept his place in the Wales team for the next match against Scotland, two weeks later, at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham. Parry was hurt in the first half and was injured again shortly after half time and was unable to play on, leaving Wales to complete the match with ten men. Scotland came from behind to win the match 4–3, with a late goal from Bob Boyd of Mossend Swifts. In their annual player assessment, the Football Association of Wales described Parry in 1891 as "a good half back but out of condition and got injured; played a splendid game v. England". As a result of his being out of favour with Everton, Parry was not selected for any of Wales's matches in the 1892 British Home Championship but was recalled to the side as a fullback for one match the following year, a 6–0 defeat against England in March 1893. His next international appearance came a year later, when he scored an own goal in a 5–1 defeat by England on 12 March 1894. Three of England's goals came from John Veitch in his only international appearance. Parry's best match for Wales came in the 1–1 draw against England in March 1895. For the next three matches, Parry was
