For their game at Claremont Road on Saturday, Golders Green were able to call upon the side which ran up nine goals against Wealdstone. They found themselves opposing a side strong in every department, hard in kicking, accurate in passing. The home club made the mistake of playing the short passing game. Munday and Bucci were too often out of position, causing a huge gap, leaving Yates a solitary figure on the wing.

Hald-time came without any score, but soon after the interval, Hitchin attacked. A miskick by Sealey let J.T. Jones away, but the winger put wide. Then COOK got through, and easily beat Lucas -- who did touch the ball -- to give Hitchin the lead.

The equaliser soon came when Yates gained possession. He closed in and shot but Chapman kept the ball out of goal with his hands. The resulting penalty kick was entrusted to MUNDAY, who scored to put the Green on terms.
