In 1896 Evans was capped, becoming the first international player from the Canton Divisional side.〔 In 1897 the Glamorgan Police RFC was founded, with Lindsay as chairman. William Rees was made captain and Dai Evans was made vice-captain.〔Westcott (1992) p.28〕 At the end of the 1897 season, three new international players joined the club, Bill Alexander of Glynneath, Bob Jones of Llwynypia and Alfred Brice of Aberavon.
