Friday 11 December - Juniors draw with McVitie & Price
In this Willesden Minor League game on Saturday Hampstead [Town] Juniors were unable to show their usual form on a frozen ground against the weighty team [of McVitie and Price], although by no means disgracing themselves. From a fine centre by Jones, Lowton opened for Hampstead and although McVitie soon equalised, Sale, on the right wing, broke away and scored. McVitie equalised the scores by the interval. Both forwards now fought for the advantage, and McVitie had drawn ahead with two goals, putting Hampstead on their mettle. A pretty piece of combination resulted in a goal for Carroll, which was followed by another from Sale. No further goals were scored, leaving the game finally undecided [as a 4-4 draw.] From "Gleanings from Sports Clubs" : Hampstead Town Juniors last Saturday scored their hundredth goal of the season. Only nine have been registered against them. The principal contributors to the century are Lowton (32), Lawrence (24), Carroll (12), and Jones (9). As most of the boys are under 16, and are opposed to many who have reached 18 or 19 years, this is a good performance. In League games the Hampstead Juniors have scored 44 goals to seven.
