Understrength Slough Hold Norfolkians

In this match at Slough, the home club were greatly handicapped by having to take the field with two injured players, Denton being hardly able to raise a trot, and Werrell playing forward instead of back, owing to a ricked back.

Maidenhead where without M. E. Pike, who is leaving Maidenhead to take up an appointment at Worthing. The visitors had a strong wind that their backs in the first half, and did most of the pressing. On one occasion Gibbons, who throughout played a capital game, sending a shot which appeared to hit the post supporting the back of the net, and rebound into play.

The Norfolk’s claim to a goal, but Slough asserted that the ball hit the goal post and had not entered the net. The referee being unable to decide the point consulted the linesman, and after considerable argument Mr Winslow gave Slough the benefit of the doubt.

Slough was seen to much greater advantage of the change of ends but the game which was witnessed by a large number of spectators ended in a pointless draw.
