From the Hendon & Finchley Times, 20 November 1925 :

Hampstead Town obtained a very comfortable victory by three goals to none over Southall on Saturday at Cricklewood-lane, and by doing so not only fully avenged a previous defeat this season, but reached the top of the Athenian League, 12 points having been obtained from eight matches. It may be said that one or two other clubs are in a relatively better position, but fixture lists are apt to get congested, and it has been proved over and over again that two points in the locker are worth more than four in the bush. A gratifying feature of Hampstead's work this season is that four points have been obtained on opponents' grounds. In previous years they have found it difficult to win away from home.

The home match with Southall is looked upon as one of the best on the club's card, but unfortunately the game on Saturday was spoilt by the fog. It was somewhat surprising that the game was played to a finish, but with two goals in hand in the first quarter of an hour Hampstead were naturally anxious that there should be no abandonment. At no period of the play did spectators have a clear view, and there were times when those in the stand found it quite impossible to follow the course of the ball. Play started punctually and the usual interval was dispensed with, but even then hardly anyone could say what was happening towards the close.

Hampstead had the team that had brought back points from Windsor, and Southall were also strongly represented, although since the previous match Hawkins has signed professional forms for Crystal Palace. The first goal came at the end of five minutes, a well-placed corner kick taken by Cousins giving Howard the opportunity of scoring the first goal with a beautiful head shot, and ten minutes later Reinke scored the second, Cousins again contributing to the result with a timely pass. There was no further scoring before half-time, indeed the game was nearing the end when Cousins obtained Hampstead's third goal. Loud shouting a minute later from those standing at the back of the goal led the "sightless" to believe that Holding, the Southall custodian, had again been beaten, but t was a false alarm.

While Hampstead deserved their victory, the figures are somewhat flattering to them. Southall at times had distinctly hard luck. Goodwin, the home goalkeeper, was again in a good mood, and others figuring prominently for Hampstead were Clarke, Thorlby, Pease, Wise and Cousins.

Howell, Southall's outside-left, was too closely watched by Clarke and Thorlby to be effective. Wenham was a source of strength at centre-half. But Hampstead had his equal in Pease, whose shooting, however, is often disappointing.

From the West Middlesex Gazette, 21 November 1925 (including teams) :

Southall found fog but no fortune when they visited the Cricklewood-lane enclosure on Saturday, and lost by 3-0 to Hampstead Town, who were somewhat flattered by the result. The visitors played well enough to merit, on their share of the play, a division of the points, though perhaps that little more "deadliness" in front of goal would have justified a single goal margin to the home team.

When the game opened at 2.45 the ground was already shrouded with fog that made shadowy the opposite side of the field and the goals, and had the teams not played on without interval the game must have been abandoned, for towards the end the ever-narrowing limit of vision had been so restricted by early dusk and thickening fog that the goals were entirely obliterated from the centre of the field. The conditions spoiled what would undoubtedly have been a thoroughly interesting game to watch, spectators finding it impossible to follow the play. Frost, too, had left the ground hard in some places and slippery in others.

Sometimes a few inches or an awkward bounce makes all the difference between success and failure, and had Southall been blessed with good fortune and Hampstead suffered their ill-luck the lead in the early stages might easily have been reversed. Hampstead were two goals ahead in the first fifteen minutes. Five minutes from the start Reinke had converted a corner from Cousins, and nine minutes later had added a second goal from a centre by the same winger. During this period Southall had three times been within a fraction of scoring. At close range Clark hit the underpart of the crossbar, and Corben struck the further upright, both shots having Goodwin well beaten, while Corben also got right through but the ball "kicked up" and robbed his shot of force so that Goodwin was able to turn it round the post for a corner. The play was very evenly contested throughout. There were no periods of sustained pressure, spells of keen midfield play being broken now and then by a sharp thrust by one or other of the sets of forwards. Each end was visited in turn, and, though it was impossible to see the play in detail, it was evident from the shouts at intervals round each goal that good attempts were being made by both teams and that both goalkeepers acquitted themselves well. The third goal was scored about seven minutes from the end, Cousins netting with a drive from out of the gloom that Holding probably did not see.
Result : Hampstead Town, 3 ; Southall, 0.
