Jenkins joined Aberavon in 1925 at the height of their 'golden era' which saw the team crowned Welsh Club Champions four consecutive years from the 1923/24 to the 1926/27 season.
In the programme for the match, Jenkins was described as 'the fourth member of the Glamorgan Constabulary on duty today, and not the least clever by any means'.
Jenkins himself suffered a neck injury that caused him some paralysis, though he finished the game on the pitch.
[4] Wales won the game 15-3, helped by the fact that Ireland lost Crowe to a concussion in the second half.
Jenkins was also selected to face two touring sides, the 1927 Waratahs and the 1931 South Africans.
