back, meant a late call-up for Birmingham's Frank Womack. Match summary Woodward came close to a goal five minutes into the game, and his side were on top for the first fifteen minutes, but in the next ten, the Professionals took a three-goal lead. First George Holley beat both amateur wing halves to open the scoring, the second came from Harold Fleming's "splendid left-foot shot", and Harry Hampton converted a corner. The half finished 4–0, after Hampton converted a penalty awarded against Arthur Knight for handball when Fleming's powerful shot struck his arm. Hampton completed his hat-trick after five minutes of the second half, but then the Amateurs took control. Sam Hardy kept out shots from Dick Healey, Ivan Sharpe and Herbert Farnfield before being beaten twice in five minutes. After a "great shot" from Preston North End winger George Barlow, the Amateurs' second was touched in by Farnfield after a move involving four players brought the ball all the way down the field. It was, according to the pseudonymous 'Reflector', writing in the Mirror, "easily the best of the match." Confusion between goalkeeper Ronald Brebner and full-back Thomas Burn presented Hampton with his fourth, and Holley completed the scoring late on. The Mirror highlighted the performance of Walden, who was involved in three of the Professionals' goals and who outplayed the defence on his side of the field, centre-half Joe McCall, and replacement left-back Womack; Peacock at centre half, Dick Healey at inside right, and centre-forward Woodward were the pick of the Amateurs. The Manchester Guardian thought the Professional team "an evenly-balanced side, strong in every particular" who "played a fast game without a suggestion of foul methods". Its reporter agreed that the Amateur wing halves were weak, which combined with the absence of Hunt put undue pressure on backs and goalkeeper, although the conclusion that it was "rather remarkable that the scoring did not reach double figures", was in clear contrast to the Mirror opinion that the five-goal difference flattered the winners. Lord Kinnaird was away in Scotland, so the FA chairman, J. C. Clegg, presented the shield and medals. Match details Post-match The Mirror estimated the attendance at "quite 15,000 people", and receipts totalled £391. The Millwall club made no claim for expenses involved in staging the match, and the entire proceeds were donated to the fund set up to support those affected by the Senghenydd Colliery
