Because of having to compete in a Western League match at Crystal Palace (which they won 1-0) Croydon were only able to send an XI that usually competes in the Second Division of the South Eastern League.
Clark scored a first minute penalty for Hammers. Webb 2-0, Frost 3-0, Waggott 4-0, Bentall 4-1, Meston of Croydon had to retire when he injured his arm. Waggott beat Furr and it stayed 5-1 to half time.
Waggott 6-1 and Webb 7-1 from a corner by Brown.
Bentall 7-2, Webb and Chalkley 8-2 and 9-2 then Bentall completed his hat=trick 9-3. Bentall is a Sailor who played for the Royal Navy.
