Custom House made rather an inauspicious start in their opening London League match at Bingley Road. West Ham Reserves beating them by 3-1 The amateurs played sparkling football in the early stages, and actually took the lead soon after the start, a capital cross shot from H. Smith, at left-half, beating West Ham's custodian. The visitors drew level as the result of a solo effort by Butcher, and Just before half-time they took the lead through Burton. Burrill, the ex-South Weald centre-forward, on resuming dispatched a fine centre by Caton into the net.
