From the Hendon & Finchley Times, 29 February 1924 :

In the Athenian League match with Redhill at Cricklewood-lane on Saturday Hampstead Town led at the interval by three goals to one, but in the end had to be content witth a draw of three goals all. Indeed, in the last few minutes anxiety was expressed among Hampstead supporters whether even one point would be secured, but the play of the home side in the first half was so good it would have been rank bad luck had they been beaten. Redhill proved one of the best League sides seen at Child's Hill this season, and we are surprised to find that they have won only half of their League games.

Hampstead had in the field their usual team, and the game was but a few minutes old when K. Seabrooke, who is playing well at centre-forward, accepted a pass from Travers Day, and although hampered by the defence, succeeded in finding the net. For a time Hampstead pressed strongly, both wings being in evidence. Time after time G.F. Howell, assiduously fed by C. Wise, got the better of Redhill's right back, G.W. Webb, and several corners fell to Hampstead. Indeed, in the first quarter of an hour there were more corners conceded than is often the case during a whole game. Whenever Redhill forwards got away, however, danger was threatened. They showed a fine turn of speed, and did not favour a too-close system of passing. A. Finn and H. White, on the left wing, were particularly troublesome, but happily W.T. Field has never shown better form at right back. He had to bear the brunt of the fray, and although not given to spectacular work, the crowd duly recognised his worth. The visitors equalised from a well placed corner, A. Sales, a strapping centre-half, just getting his head to the ball and placing it out of the reach of McCracken.

For a time Hampstead were seen at the top of their form, headwork in front of goal being conspicuous. After three or four well-directed shots with his head, Seabrooke, following a nice movement in which all the line took part, was enabled to score through strategy on the part of Young, it only being necessary for the centre-forward to tap the ball to get it over the line. The next goal was scored by Wise from one of many well-directed corners taken by Travers Day. A goalkeeper is to be pitied when he has to face Wise in a scoring mood, and Rose, who had been doing well, was quite helpless. The force with which the ball was kicked almost tore the netting.

Upon the change of ends Redhill played spiritedly, and Hampstead's defence had a very worrying time. The half-back line was not so effective as usual, Wardlaw being the pick of the three, but Little has rarely had a more troublesome wing to deal with. On one occasion it was entirely due to him that the goal did not fall, and the rather critical section of the crowd who had been disappointed with his previous work could not withhold a cheer when he cleared at the expense of a corner. At length A. Corben, at centre, reduced Hampstead's lead, and a little later H. White, who had been prominent from the beginning, equalised the scores. Wardlaw was temporarily put out of action, but came on the field once more to assist in staving off the Redhill attack.

A draw fittingly represented the run of the play. The visitors provided the hardest and also one of the best matches at home this season. Hampstead had the larger number of scoring chances, but once again found a very capable man in the opponent's goal. Sales, White and Finn did splendidly for Redhill, and, as already stated, Field was conspicuous for Hampstead at right back. Wise was again at the top of his form, and Travers Day has now firmly established himself at outside-right.

From the Surrey Mirror, 29 February 1924 (including teams) :

Redhill's return fixture with Hampstead Town in the Athenian League will stand out as one of the most interesting and sporting engagements of the present season, and a division of the points was a very satisfactory result as far as Redhill were concerned. It was their first visit to the Hampstead Town enclosure and they met with a good reception by players, officials, and home supporters, a fine sporting spirit being exhibited throughout. Early in the season Redhill bagged a brace of points at the expense of the Town, but since then Hampstead have shown better form, not having been beaten on their own midden. At half-time on Saturday, when the score stood at 3-1 in their favour, it looked as if Redhill would have to easily yield both points, but after the interval they made a marvellous recovery, and whilst adding two goals and preventing their opponents from improving their position, had ill-luck with a number of other shots. Had the game lasted a few more minutes it looked as if a win for the visitors would have been registered.

Despite the fact that the ground was very heavy, the game was played with fine resolution, pace, and skill from the start; in fact, it was really wonderful that the players were able to put up such a good exhibition. Hampstead's first two goals were easy ones, but Rose could not be blamed for letting either into the net, more especially the first, which was the result of an apparent mistake between the backs. Indeed, throughout the greater part of the first half, the Reds' defence was not at all settled, whilst, on the other hand, the forwards made some good attacks, but were rarely masters of the situation when approaching goal. In the second moiety the reverse was the case, and the home supporters were the first to admit that their players had a harder "nut to crack" than they had before this season. Rose was in topping form; the backs were ever ready to respond to calls made upon them, and with the intermediate line, of which Sales was the shining star, gave the forwards opportunities galore to show their skills. Finn and White did enough to merit a victory with ordinary luck, and Corben as the pivot was resourceful to a degree. It was with Hermitage and Wilkins that he did most of his work, especially in the second half, when these players changed places, Wilkins coming inside-right, a change which put a different complexion on the game and was responsible for some of the most telling attacks. A noteworthy feature of a memorable game was the fact that only one foul was given throughout.

Hampstead went away from the start, danger emanating from the left wing, but Webb intercepted and put the Reds' forwards on the go. White trapped the ball nicely, but his shot lacked sting, and made McCracken's task easy. Hampstead returned to the attack immediately, and a rather bad mistake by Houghton gave Seabrooke a chance to put into the net at close range, Rose being taken quite unawares. The next few minutes saw some brilliant work by Wise and Howell, who placed the leather in front of goal, two corners accruing. From one Rose made a very fine save, by measuring his length on the ground and just tipping outside. Give and take midfield play was followed by another incursion by Redhill, in which Finn and White played a prominent part. The leather hovered in the vicinity of the goal for several seconds, culminating in Sales heading into the net after having the better of matters with a couple of opponents. The game was now proceeding at a good pace, both goals being visited in quick succession. The home left wing was dangerous when once it got on the move, and Webb and Jeffrey were time and again extended to the full. At the other end, White and Corben experienced bad luck in front of goal, one drop shot almost bringing about the downfall of the home goal. Hampstead again attacked in force and held the advantage for some time, giving the Reds' defence a gruelling time. From a scramble in front of goal, Seabrooke gave his side the lead by just touching the leather at the right time. Redhill essayed hard to get level, but their efforts lacked finish, indecision proving fatal on several occasions. Towards the interval Hampstead again showed aggression, and Wise improved his side's score with a very fine shot, which was quite out of the reach of Rose.

The change of places by Hermitage and Wilkins in the second half early gave promise, for within a few minutes McCracken was called upon to deal with a stinging shot from Hermitage. A minute later a fine chance given by Hermitage went begging through Corben and Wilkins being over-anxious and spoiling each other's chances. Except for one or two bursts from Hampstead, during which they were never really dangerous owing to a marked improvement in the Reds' defence, play favoured Redhill for some time. Both wings were a treat to watch when they got away. It was from one of these movements that the home lead was eventually reduced. Long fed his wing with judgment, and after a brilliant run by White and Finn, the former let go to Corben, who beat McCracken with a first-timer. Try as they might, Hampstead could not pass the Reds' halves, who were all now in fine fettle, and it was not long before White gave his side the equalising goal after some excellent play in which all the forwards had had a share. This quick reverse seemed to have the effect of disorganising the home forwards, who could do nothing, whereas Redhill came on time and again, but only to experience much ill-luck. Once Hermitage dropped a shot just on the under part of the junction of crossbar and upright, and it was only by the greatest piece of luck that McCracken cleared. After a while Hampstead made a rally and Rose was called upon to deal with a clinking shot, which he hooked out with one hand in great style. The resultant corner availed nothing. Play was more even from now to the finish, each goal having narrow escapes, but nothing further was scored.
