It was expected that we should be easy winners in this first round London Senior Cup tie but there was some criticism that our boys did not go to town until the second half.

Give the Wingate lads credit for a tenacious and plucky first half fight in which they tackled quickly and used the ball well in an effort to get an early goal, but after gaining a 1-0 lead at half time through a fine Roy Drake header, we over-ran the opposition with goals from Dave Hyde (2), Jimmy Quail, Danny Lakey, Laurie Churchill and wing half Roy Sleap.
