Heavy rain fell all day Sunday and made the pitch very muddy. Further rain on Monday made it almost unplayable but a start was made. A new face in the West Ham side was local-lad Birnie at outside-right. The rain got so bad that the referee suspended play for 7 minutes in the first half. At half-time West Ham had a goal-lead. 
Walton collided with Eccles was badly dazed  but Pluckily continued. He later left the field and did not return.
Birnie shot, from outside right, straight at Williams, who got the ball a few yards away; Lyon shot again, and once more the ball came out from the 'Spurs' goalkeeper. This time Watts came up and rushed the ball into the net. 
While the players were in the dressing room the rain was still coming down hard, referee J. Tillottson decided that further play was impossible and abandoned the match. Under Western League rules the match will have to be replayed in full.
