From the Hendon & Finchley Times, 30 October 1925 (including teams) :

With a weakened team, the absentees including Brazier, Pease and Barnes, Hampstead Town had small hopes of bringing Athenian League points back from Southall on Saturday, and did fairly well in losing by a bare margin. With only a quarter of an hour to go, they were on level terms, but then Jackson sent in a beautiful shot that appeared to have crossed the line before Howell made certain of a goal. On the run of the play Southall certainly deserved their victory. Considering the pressure applied they should certainly have scored more than two goals. Corners innumerable were awarded to them, but the majority were badly placed, and others were cleared. They were also granted a penalty kick, but Goodwin proved too clever for Buttery, the Southall captain, who kicked feebly. While, however, it may be said that Hampstead were fortunate in getting off so lightly, their display under the circumstances was very commendable, and with full strength in the field they would probably have secured at least one point.

At the opening the Southall defence was shaky, Buttery miskicking and Holding making a weak clearance, but only five minutes had passed when Corben scored for Southall after nice work by Howell. The home side continued to hold the upper hand, Howell being the most dangerous forward. He has lost none of his skill since leaving Hampstead Town. Speedy as ever, he put in a number of nice centres from the touch-line. Many corners fell to Southall without result, the Hampstead defence being sound, Clarke in particular doing good work. A capital shot by Cousins was saved by Holding, who was also troubled by Howard from a pass by Bush. Reinke displayed his usual dash, but found against him a good centre-half in Wenham. The teams played strenuously, and interest in the game never wavered. The spectators were thrilled with a desperate scrimmage in front of the Hampstead goal, and how the ball was kept out of the net remains a mystery. In the next minute Goodwin was lying on the ground, but by a stroke of good fortune for Hampstead the ball struck him on the leg and went outside. This corner, like a score or more forced by Southall, bore no fruit. A beautiful shot by Bush deserved to score but did not. Southall, however, had equally bad luck when Jackson missed a gilt-edged chance after Goodwin had failed to properly gather the ball from Howell. After Clark (the Southall inside-right) had gone off the field for injuries - he was away for only a brief spell - Corben should have scored, as he had a clear course. Half-time was fast approaching when Hampstead equalised. From a free kick awarded against Vance, Thorlby placed the ball in such a position that Reinke completely beat Holding with his head.

In the second half Southall had a big share of the game, but failed to make use of their opportunities. Clark missed one glorious chance, but a few seconds later tested Goodwin with a brilliant effort. Another grand save was made by Goodwin from one of his own backs, but considering the pressure to which they were subjected, Clarke and Lovelock did well, and thirty-five minutes had elapsed before Southall's second and winning goal was obtained, Jackson having the credit. With this shot Goodwin had no chance, but just prior to this he had saved the penalty previously referred to. In the closing stages Hampstead made desperate efforts to get one point, and Howard seemed to be well-positioned for scoring, but the chance was not accepted.

Considering the unsettled state of the weather there was a good attendance, a number of Hampstead supporters making the journey.

From the West Middlesex Gazette, 31 October 1925 (including teams) :

If points were given for corner kicks, Southall would have had quite an imposing total in their match with Hampstead Town at Western-road on Saturday, when, before a crowd of nearly 2,000, the home side won by 2-1 a game in which they had so much of the play that a far more decisive victory should have been the result. The visiting defence frequently came under strong pressure and corners were liberally conceded, but Southall made rather prodigal use of this advantage, many of the flag kicks being placed behind.

Hampstead Town were weakened in defence by the absence of Pease and Brazier, who were with the Middlesex team on their week-end tour in Cornwall and Devon. That the visitors so successfully withstood the many attacks of the Southall forwards as to be only a goal in arrears at the end, was due, in part to the sturdy tackling and kicking of Lovelock, a reserve left back, and the good work of theit tall and burly goalkeeper, Goodwin, who, as if to emphasise his six feet and some odd inches, walked of at half-time side by side with Howell, Southall's diminutive outside left. But their efforts would not have been enough to keep down the score had the Southall forwards been able, in front of goal, to turn to account the great advantage they had in the midfield play. Too often, when opportunity presented itself to the inside men for a sharp shot, time was wasted and the chance lost by manoeuvring for better position. Howell was always a prominent winger, and his many clever runs would have been made to more useful purpose had his centres been better placed. Though Southall had by far the larger share of the play, the Hampstead Town forwards, with Wise initiating good movements and Reinke never letting them fail for want of trying, were so thrustful and dangerous in their attacks that the result was always open, even in the last few minutes Holding having several good shots to save. That they had fewer chances than the home forwards was due to a sound display by the home defence, in which Wenham was a conspicuous figure at centre half, and Buttery a resolute and reliable back, to whom Field proved a useful partner. The game did not rise above a moderate standard, but doubtless some of the defects that were noticeable were caused by the conditions, showers of rain making slippery grass that seemed unduly long.

Southall secured an early lead, Corben shooting through from a centre by Howell after four minutes' play, and should have gone further ahead, the Hampstead goal having several remarkable escapes during hot pressure. Six minutes before the interval Hampstead equalised, Reinke heading a fine goal from a long free kick by Thorlby. Sourthall were frequently attacking in the second half and, though Clark was once unlucky to hit the upright with a beautiful shot that had Goodwin well beaten, so many chances were missed that when Buttery failed to beat Goodwin from a penalty for hands, it seemed that Southall would not score again. Twelve minutes from the end, however, Jackson sent in a beautiful shot from a difficult angle and Howell put on the finishing touch by heading through.
