In the trial at Upton Park the proceeds of which will be donated to local charities, some excellent form was seen, though at times the kicking was somewaht erratic.The play was interesting and distinctly promising for the future. The sides were designated 'Reds' and 'Blues', the former displaying decidedly the better form, except for a period in the second half. They well deserved their victory by 3-1 with Albert Denyer scoring twice.
