This was a fine victory by the Hammers over a side that contained the great amateur C.B. Fry. A Farrell goal goal separated the sides at half-time and West Ham began the second period resigned to a long siege of their goal. But Frazer the Saints centre-forward was injured and the forwards were re-arranged with 'C.B.' taking over the No.9's duties. He was ably equiped for this because he had a splendid turn of speed. However, the visitors employed the off-side trap and Fry effective speed was neutralised. Ten minutes into the second half a Campbell shot went through Robinson's legs and West Ham were two goals ahead. Barlow reduced the defecit to 1-2 and the visitors then became under severe pressure. Amid the desperate tactics of the West Ham defenders, Wood was brought down and the referee at first awarded a penalty, but on consulting his linesman he reversed his decision much to the annoyance of the home crowd.
