That Hampstead Town are now a greatly improved side and one to command respect is proved by their latest and well-deserved victory over Wimbledon in an Athenian League game last Saturday on the Child's Hill enclosure by two goals to none. This win, following other recent successes, places Hampstead in a most favourable position in the League table.

The visitors have been playing consistently well throughout the season, and have scored many notable victories in Cup ties. Yet their prestige, and valiant efforts to get on terms in the game under review, failed to daunt the Hampstead players, who predominated throughout.

The game was always at a great pace, and the Wimbledon defence narrowly escaped defeat in the first few minutes. Subsequently more even play ensued, and the teams crossed over with no score. Whilst the Hampstead halves and backs repeatedly broke up dangerous attacks, their forwards continued to play brilliantly, and eventually from a fine centre by S. Briscoe, C. Wise, the amateur International, scored a spendid goal with a lightning shot. H.S. White, one of Hampstead's latest recruits, and a most valuable addition to their strength, played remarkably well on the left wing, and five minutes before the close of one of the finest games witnessed on the Hampstead ground, he scored with a brilliant oblique shot from good range, which gave Bennett no chance. H. Baxter was a tower of strength at right back for Hampstead, and in the Wimbledon side one of the most prominent players was H.H. Allwright, an erstwhile member of the Hampstead club.

Cecil Burrage, brother of Hampstead's South African International forward, recently demobilised, operated effectively at centre-half, and had a considerable share in the victory. His play in the Army created a big impression, and one one occasion he was selected to play for Suffolk. G.H. Perry, Hampstead's new centre-forward, also gave great satisfaction, and proved a rare worrier to the opposing defence.

The friendly and true sporting spirit existing between the two clubs, engendered by their close association with the revival of Senior amateur football in London after the Armistice, was referred to in happy little speeches by Mr. C.E. Timms, chairman of the Hampstead club, and Mr. S. Meadows, of Wimbledon, after an excellent repast served to both teams and their friends in the commodious club house on the Hampstead ground.
