Crystal Palace's second string were never in the picture against West Ham's Reserves eleven at Upton Park and were trounced by 7-1.  Jim Barrett held up the majority of their moves. West Ham attacked immediately, and within five minutes were one up, when Gregory deflected Kirkaldie's corner kick into the net for an own goal after Green jumped over the ball. Five minutes later, Green took a long pass and beat the advancing Palace 'keeper with a well-placed shot to put West Ham two up. Green dribbled cleverly through and Kirkaldie combined in a movement which saw the former shoot narrowly wide. Wood changed positions with Green in another quick attack, and the winger's shot was cleared at the expense of another corner. Just prior to the interval Barret handled in the area, and Waldron reduced Palace's deficit from the spot. The Palace attack livened after this success, but they did not again reduce the lead  before half-time. There was a comic scene soon after the restart, when Wood dribbled right through and lobbed the ball across goal. Toothill, running out, missed the ball and Kirkaldie pushed it across again, but Toothill met it on his way back to goal and dribbled the ball upfield to clear. Kirkaldie took a pass from Turner, and beat two defenders, centred the ball to see it hit the crossbar, Green, running up, easily netted to take the Hammers' advantage to 3-1.
A pass from Fenton, who beat two defenders, left Wood in a difficult position, but he drove the ball hard past Toothill to net the home side's fourth. A centre by Wood was handled by a defender and Barrett calmly scored, Kirkaldie scored the sixth and seventh goals. His last, the best of the game, was a grand shot after Green had spreadeagled the Palace rearguard.
