From the Hendon & Finchley Times, 26 October 1923 :

Being without a competitive game Hampstead [Town] arranged two strong away matches, one with Eastbourne and the other with Horsham [Trinity].

The club's playing strength was equally divided between the two games, and the team to meet Horsham included S. Briscoe at outside-right, H. Woodward at left-half, L. Evershed, W.G. Brooker, and several other prominent players who are qualifying for the premier side. An excellent game, in which the old brigade all played splendidly, resulted in a draw 3-3.

From the West Sussex County Times and Standard, 27 October 1923 :

The visit of Hampstead Town to the Trinity Sports Ground on Saturday did not meet with the support anticipated by the Club's supporters, but from the point of view of the game it was an excellent match. The visitors played the short passing game - in contrast to the homesters wing to wing play - and the footwork of the forwards was brilliant at times, especially in the opening fifteen minutes of the game, when the Hampstead right wing were very much to the fore, and Ellis had a rare handful to contend with in the outside-right. Hampstead were two goals up before Trinity began to get together, and then the game became more even. At the interval the scoresheet was still 2-0 in favour of Hampstead.

On resuming Trinity had more of the game, with the slope in their favour, and after much pressure one of the Hampstead backs saved a shot from Briscoe with his hands, the goalie being beaten; and from the resultant penalty Jack Smith scored his first goal of the season. End to end play followed and the Hampstead centre-forward in one raid outwitted Jack Smith, and went on single handed to find the net with a shot well out of the reach of Hill. Trinity came away from the kick-off and Clarke , after very tricky play, found the net with a beautiful shot. Hampstead continued to give Hill in the Trinity goal plenty of work, which he dealt with in masterly fashion, much to the delight of the home supporters. Perry, Clarke and Richardson continued to try and get the equaliser, and from a fine shot by Clarke, wich the goalie received full in the face, Joey walked the ball through. From now to the finish both teams tried hard for a decider, but the end of a very intersting and clean exhibition by both teams came, with the score 3-3. Mr. J.E. Lawrence ably carried out the duties of referee.
