From the Hendon & Finchley Times, 15 November 1924 :

By five goals to one - a score which by no means over-represented the play in favour of the winners - Hampstead Town overcame Uxbridge in the Divisional Final [third qualifying round] of the Amateur Cup on Saturday, and now have the pleasure of meeting Hounslow, who beat Hanwell by four goals to two. On present form Hampstead give promise of reaching the competition proper, although Hounslow have the choice of ground.

By a coincidence Uxbridge were booked for the Child's Hill ground on Saturday in the Athenian League, the date for which will have to be rearranged.

Hampstead made two changes from the usual team. H.G.M Barnes, who has not been in the best of health of late, was given a rest, S. Sweetman removing from right-half to centre-half, his place being taken by C. Harris. K.G. Seabrooke was also an absentee; we hear that during the week his ankle was injured. E.B. Irwin therefore went into the centre-forward position, W.E. Harris ("Taffy" as he is popularly called) being given the place at outside-right.

In the Uxbridge team were F.H. Watts, F.A. Yates, H.H. Allwright and R.S. Allen, all of whom have appeared in Hampstead colours. Yates did excellent work at inside-left; Allwright, though not quite so brilliant as of yore, was a serviceable back; and Allen, in goal, though beaten five times, can look back upon the match with a certain amount of satisfaction, some of his saves earning and receiving recognition.

Until Hampstead had obtained a commanding lead the game was fast and interesting, but in the concluding stages the heavy going, combined with the state of the score, detracted from keen play.

The game opened in favour of Hampstead, although on one occasion Dimmock, the Uxbridge centre-forward, worked his way through the defence so cleverly that the supporters from the west of the county were disappointed that he did not complete his good work, the ball going over the bar. Not long after the scoring opened, Wise, with his really remarkable left foot, which we have heard described as one of the prettiest limbs in the game today, putting the ball neatly past Allen. Some of the credit for this early score was due to Irwin, who might have shot, but regarded Wise as being in the better position. Two other goals were also scored before the interval by Young, who was constantly in the picture. The first of these came from Wardlaw's pass, and the second was from as beautiful a piece of headwork as it is possible to conceive. In this case Smith's accurate centre was the prelude to the downfall of the goal.

During this half Uxbridge, who may have been handicapped more than Hampstead by the heavy ground, seldom failed to look dangerous. They were happy in their wing men, who showed a good turn of speed, but the shooting lacked accuracy, and Goodwin had a comparatively easy job. Brazier showed much better form than in one or two recent matches; while Sweetman, perhaps the greatest "find" of the season, did even better at centre-half than on the wing.

Early in the second half Irwin, helped by Wise, scored the fourth, and the fifth came from the foot of Young from Smith's centre. Unsteadiness in front of goal lost the visitors several chances of scoring, and it was not until ten minutes before the final whistle that they were able to beat Goodwin, Dimmock being responsible for a really good goal. In the last few minutes Hampstead taxed the defence severely, but the shooting left something to be desired.

Irwin, who was deputising for Seabrooke in the centre, showed promising form in that position, although at times somewhat impetuous, and "Taffy" was a popular figure at outside-right. He is fast and in most cases can make the best use of the ball, but probably his side would be benefited if he relied more upon the inside men to do the scoring. C. Harris also did useful work at half-back, although he suffered in comparison with others in the first line of defence. We have already referred to Sweetman, and Wardlaw seldom fails on a heavy ground.

From the Uxbridge & West Drayton Gazette, 21 November 1924 (includes teams) :

Uxbridge received their dismissal from the Amateur Cup Competition on Saturday at Hampstead [Town] by 5 goals to 1. Considering the very bad conditions under foot it was a good game in which the home team, a heavy side compared with Uxbridge, played in real, bustling cup-tie style; the only style to be effective on such a ground. Undoubtedly Uxbridge found the conditions a severe handicap. Their attempts to play a short passing game were doomed to failure from the outset, and while ofttimes they waited for the ball which should have come to them, but instead stuck in the mud, the home players reached it before them and got rid of it to advantage. And knowing the best patches Hampstead saw that their men, who were able to get the best foothold, had the most chances. Kicking up the slope in the first half, Uxbridge were early called upon to defend their goal, and Dowie cleverly beat Wise in a tackle, and Allen fisted out a shot by Irwin. Ashby slung the ball out to the left, and Dimmock was given a chance but he kicked weakly. Yates seized an early opportunity and dashed through, but Brazier bustled him off the ball as he was about to shoot. After seven minutes a smart move on the home right drew the defence, and the ball was sent across to Wise, for the old County player to net with a nice shot. Irwin nearly added another a minute later, his shot going inches wide with Allen beaten. Accepting a pass from Witcher, Seamen worked through and Dimmock and Rodgers each had a shot, the second of which Goodwin sent over the bar. Later Allen was again in action, and ably dealt with a hard drive from Young after Harris had beaten Allwright. At this point Rodgers and Seamen were doing good work but the attacks of the Uxbridge forwards lacked sting, the home halves by clever work frustrating any combined movement. Yates forced another corner, and following this, Harris transferred play, and Young scored a second goal, Allen seeming to be unable to turn to get to the shot. A grand save by Allen, which gained warm appreciation, was the prelude to some forceful work by Uxbridge, initiated by Kidd. Watts and Yates forced the pace and after Goodwin had saved a well-placed shot Field was lucky to put the ball behind for a corner. From this Ashby shot over. Then Watts centred finely, and Dimmock missed with only the goalie to beat. Later the Uxbridge centre-forward headed past the post. Uxbridge were now having plenty of the game, opening out the play in convincing style, but the marksmanship of the forwards still left a lot to be desired. Watts had a glorious chance, but failed sadly. Just before the interval Young headed the third goal from a delightful centre by Smith.

On the change of ends Uxbridge soon attacked but a well-judged pass by Watts was not improved upon, and brilliant half-back play by the Hampstead trio resulted in the Reds' defence having to work hard. Dowie and Allwright, as in the first half, defended valiantly, and following a clever tackle by the first-named, the Uxbridge left wing again got going, Watts sending behind. Once more attacking the homesters, through Wise, gave Allen a difficult shot to deal with, and relief came through Young sending over. It was not long however ere the persistence of Wise brought reward. He worked clean through the defence, and then tapped the ball to Irwin, who, standing unmarked, scored a fourth goal. Harris cut out the work for Young to score a fifth. In the closing stages Uxbridge put on pressure and at length Seamen centred for Dimmock to head a good goal. The Reds continued to play strongly but they could not further reduce the account against them, and the end came as stated.
