From the Hendon & Finchley Times, 20 February 1925 :

Goalless draws are of rare occurrence on the Hampstead Town ground but in the match with Uxbridge Town on Saturday at Cricklewood both teams failed to find the net. This is only the third occasion this season that the Hampstead fowards have failed to score, the other games being those at Kingston and Dulwich.

Following the loss of two Athenian League points at Uxbridge the previous week, the dropping of another was distinctly disappointing to supporters of Hampstead, seeing that until the last two games Uxbridge had obtained only eight points in 14 games, and were perilously near the bottom of the League table.

In the last few weeks, however, Uxbridge have put in the field a much stronger eleven than was possible early in the season, and the present team has about it a strong Southall flavour. B. Alford, their capable centre-forward, and one or two others have played for Southall, while it is of interest to note that several old Hampstead Town players find places in the Uxbridge team, including R.S. Allen, whose fine work in goal was worthy of the greatest praise, and H.H. Allwright, the left back, who has found his way there via Wimbledon. Allwright is still a strong kicker and fearless defender, but not so skilful as to make the Hampstead Town executive envious.

Changes took place in the Hampstead team in consequence of two of the most prominent players assisting professional organisations. S. Sweetman, the centre-half, was playing for Queen's Park Rangers, and, according to report, showed form which promises to give him a permanent place in their first eleven. W.E. Harris, the right-half, was having a trial with Aston Villa, for whom he signed amateur forms some weeks ago. As a result of these defections it was fortunate the club could call upon Lewis Smith to fill his old position at centre-half, while H.G.M. Barnes, who played on one or two occasions earlier in the season, operated at right-half. Another change was necessary in consequence of F.G. Young being injured while assisting his county at Yarmouth last Thursday, O. Reinke, the Willesden schoolboy international, who has been playing with the reserves, being called upon. He made a promising debut, and great things may be expected from him when he has had more experience in senior circles.

Despite the ground conditions - the pitch was in such a terrible state that the referee spent a good deal of time directing operations from the touch line - play was thoroughly interesting, and the result was a fair representation of the run of the game, although two or three gilt-edged chances were missed by Hampstead. Allen, in the visiting goal, made some fine clearances, one of the best being the tipping of the ball over the bar from a free kick by Lewis Smith. On another occasion he did well to get the better of Seabrooke, but the centre-forward was clearly at fault for delaying his shot too long. Wise had another promising opening, and there was clear evidence that if he could shoot with his right foot as with his left many more goals would accrue. Admitting the excellence of Allen's work in goal, it was painful to see so many chances thrown away by the Hampstead forwards, but the state of the ground accounted for a great deal of miskicking. Irwin did a lot of good work, and it seems the time has come when he might be given another chance of performing at centre-forward, which is his favourite position. In the defence the backs did well. Iles is steadily improving, and Brazier is very consistent.

Of the Uxbridge men Alford and Hunt were prominent in the forward line, but the former has a number of little tricks that he would do well to abandon. The referee had occasion to caution him in the first half, and the advice "Play the game" was tendered by the onlookers. On the whole, Uxbridge did not do as much attacking as Hampstead, but their forwards were speedy, and whenever they broke away danger threatened Goodwin, who dealt with a number of shots in a masterly manner. As has been the case in a number of other games this season, the infringement of the offside rule times without number spoiled the play. The Uxbridge backs had the happy knack of being able to thwart the home side by one or the other keeping well up the field, but later it was found that more than one side could adopt the same tactics.

From the Uxbridge & West Drayton Gazette, 20 February 1925 (including teams) :

Uxbridge followed up their home victory over Hampstead Town by playing a drawn game with the same club at Cricklewood-lane last weekend, thus bringing their total of league points in the last four matches up to seven out of a possible eight. Incidentally they are the first club to take a league point from Hampstead on their own ground. From a playing point of view the game was ruined by the terrible state of the pitch. After ten minutes it resembled a ploughed field in which the unfortunate players oft-times floundered hopelessly. Scientific work was out of the question, but Uxbridge, profiting by the experience gained on the same ground in November, cut out all "fancy" work in favour of the bustling game. The forward line was reconstructed in that Yates played at inside right to Hunt and Holding had the inside left berth, with Watts on the wing. This seemed to be a very happy combination. realising that their wingers had the better of the bad foothold, the Uxbridge inside forwards, together with the half-backs, swung the ball out to the line on every possible occasion, and early on Watts, after a dash by Holding, sent in a cleverly timed shot which missed by inches, and from a centre by Hunt Alford skimmed the bar with a beauty a minute later. These were the nearest scoring efforts by either side in the first half hour, though as at Uxbridge on the previous Saturday, Smith, the Hampstead left-winger, was the most prominent of the home attack. In striking contrast was Irwin, on the other wing, who was so firmly held by Strevans that he was quite ineffective. Hampstead, however, owed much to their backs, both Iles and Brazier playing in superb fashion. Though they did not have so much work, Allwright and Shaw were good, playing with perfect understanding. Just before the interval Watts brought Goodwin to his knees, and the goalie came successfully through a gruelling time, in which he saved from Yates, Alford and Holding, with honours.

There was one big outstanding moment in the second half, a magnificent shot - the best of the day - by Holding. It was a left foot drive which Goodwin just managed to scrape out. At the other end Lewis Smith tested Allen with a low cross shot, and then until ten minutes from the end it was anybody's game, with the half-backs on either side predominating. Then Hampstead attacked in determined fashion, and here Allen's masterly goalkeeping saved Uxbridge. Three times he cleared in grand style, and on one occasion the ball remained stuck in front of goal for several seconds before Allwright succeeded in getting it away. However, the Uxbridge defence prevailed, and the game ended in a goalless draw.
