—v Swinton, Amateurs, 3 – 0, Mexborough League, away.

11 games, 8 wins, 3 draws: goals for 30, against 7. All the away middles were one.

We must not let the glamour of Victoria’s successes dim the achievement of St. Hilda’s, who won at Bolton in the Mexborough Minor League, and missed with a penalty kick. Bolton up to Saturday, had won all matches played.
