Brentford were defeated by three goals to two. As the play went they were extremely unlucky to lose, but it is impossible on that account to make any excuse for the behaviour of a number of the spectators, who displayed their hostility towards the referee in a very marked and offensive fashion. The first goal in the match was scored by Campbell for the visitors about twenty-five minutes from the start from a free kick, the ball glancing off Gilson into the net, and just afterwards Campbell added a second point from a penalty after Nidd and Allan collided. Close on the interval Maher obtained a goal for Brentford and immediately on the game being resumed Underwood made the score level. Thence-forward Brentford had nearly all the play, and had fortune been at all kind to them they might have added several points to their score, the West Ham goal having many exceedingly narrow escapes. As it happened, however, they met with no further success, and about ten minutes from the finish West Ham breaking away Kelly, from a free kick, sent the ball into the net.
