score being declared the winners. The local rivals met in a game that journalists expected to be a close match. With both teams featuring guest players, the first half was the close matched game expected and it was only shortly before half-time when the first points were scored as Bradford's Willie Davies made the most of a Halifax error to score a try. With the conversion being kicked, Bradford had a 5–0 lead at the interval. The second half was a one-sided affair, Davies scored his second try from the first scrum of the half. This was followed by tries from Best, Carter, Foster and Smith with two conversions added. Although Halifax had a majority of possession in the second half, it was Bradford who did the attacking with Halifax once once getting anywhere close to scoring. The receipts for the final were £635.
