The Middlesex Senior Cup tie with Wood Green Town at the Avenue Ground on Saturday produced a game brimful of excitement. Both clubs were represented by their best available teams, and Hampstead were rewarded with their best gate this season.

The game opened sensationally, Lizzimore scoring for Wood Green after five minutes play. H Pride soon equalised for Hampstead with a well-judged shot. Shortly after Wood Green again took the lead, but two goals, both resulting from fine individual efforts of J Pennifer, put Hampstead in front.

The second half was keenly contested, O Summer scoring a magnificent goal for Hampstead. Seven minutes from time Wood Green notched their third goal. This ended the scoring and Hampstead qualify to meet the 2nd Grenadier Guards in the net round at Cricklewood.
