Towards the end of February, Shepherd's Bush, then members of the Isthmian League, were the visitors. Hampton ran out 1-0 winners in a match which the local paper reported upon as follows:

"The Town's point (goal) was scored within a few minutes from the start by F.K. Gooding, a recent and useful addition to the Hampstead forward line. Although many excellent attempts were made by both sides, no further goals arrived. Some few weeks ago, the Sportsmans Battalion XI, which comprises of some of the leading footballers under military training, visited Cricklewood and were defeated by 3 goals to 1, the Town being one of the few clubs to beat them. As the result was not entirely acceptable to the visitors, a second encounter has been arranged."

That game took place during the early part of March, and once again the local paper was there to record it. "The 1st Sportsmans Battalion XI furnished an excellent attraction at the Avenue ground, and this fine combination of athletes provided an enjoyable and keenly contested game. Hampstead Town, however, confirmed the result of the previous encounter, being successful on this occation by 3 goals to 0. The abscene of points (goals) for the visitors was not due to any lack of skill or effort on their par, but mainly to the sound defence of the home team, and particularly W. Winyard in goal. This capable and improving player made two meritorious saves from Owers (late of Bristol City), worthy of the highest commendation.

"The Town were quickly on the offensive, and within 10 minutes form the start, G. Christie circumvented Higgins (QPR) and centred right into the goalmouth. Kirton successfully negotiated this attempt, but punted the ball to T. Poltock, who turned it into the net with a fine drive. Shortly after, A.W. Humphreys, who was going nicely for goal, was brought down in the penalty area, but Hooper failed with the resultant kick.

"The Town secured a two goal lead before the interval, with F.K. Gooding scoring cleverly, while the visitors, meanwhile, made continuous and valiant attempts to get on terms.

"Hampstead were fortunate in having the services of the well-known amateur R.H. Jonas at centre-half, who played a sterling game throughout, and it was from one of his well judged passes that A.W. Humphreys was able to dribble through the backs, before beating the keeper with a shot into the corner.

"Owers got well away on one occasion, but shot over, and the same player, with the last kick of the match, made a brilliant attempt to score, but just failed to beat Winyard.

"The soldiers were good in all departments, Littleworth, Higgins, Owers and the brothers Hendren being particularly prominent. The Town, however, displayed superior combination, and thus secured a well-merited (3-0) victory."

On 2nd April 1915 the local paper reported that "On Saturday afternoon at the Avenue Ground, the Town will oppose a team organised by the Belgian refugees, now in the country. The whole of teh proceeds will be devoted to the Belgian Wounded Soldiers Fund. On Easter Monday morning, the 2nd Sportsmans Battalion will be the visitors, and an excellent game should result. The Town will be strongly represented, and it will be quite likely that this is one of their last appearances this season."

In it's 16th April edition, the paper reports: "Tomorrow, Hampstead Town entertain the Footballers' Battalion, now in training at the White Ciry. The team to oppose the Town is composed entirely of professionals from English, Scottish and Southern League clubs."

On Saturday 24th April 1915, we played our last game of the season, not realising then that it was to be our last game for three years as the war took its hold and toll.

The Footballers' Battalion were the visitors to the Avenue Ground in Cricklewood Lane. The visiting team was selected as: P.Roney (Bristol Rovers), J. Robertson (Birmingham City), R. Reason (Clapton Orient), S. Ripley (Stoke City), S. Morris (QPR), H. Hogarth (Burnley), D. Grey (St. Mirren), C. Bell (Woolwich Arsenal), J. Pennifer (QPR), W. Gerrish (Aston Villa) and W. Gallagher Bristol Rovers). We do not have a report of this game, or indeed any record of the goalscorers. However, what we do know is that we lost 3-1.

The Middlesex County FA postponed their annual meeting but were still hopeful of playing their cup-ties in 1915/16. It was also noted that over 2,500 Middlesex footballers had joined the forces.

Our fixture list for this season had mainly comprised of friendly games, most of which we have been covered here, but we did play in two Athenian league games, seven F.A. Cup ties (reaching the 5th Qualifying Round), reached the 5th Qualifying Round of the London Senior Cup, but failed in the First Round of the F.A. Amateur Cup. Somehow we managed to play a total of 29 games during 1914/15, which considering the difficulties of player availability was an achievement in itself.
